Thanks, everyone! I called the hotel and it is indeed wireless.
Michal, thanks for the detailed setup info. I've poked around "in
there" before, but as I don't usually tote the laptop with me, I've
never actually used wireless. I'm taking it to the international job
fair--in Iowa, of all places!--this week to seek my fortune teaching
overseas. I wanted the laptop to do last-minute research of schools.
Wish me luck!
