Well, my work ISP is Ameritech's Business DSL Service thru Covad - no dial-up access.

My home provider is Comcast Cable Internet, also no dial-up access

The idea of buying one month of Net Zero really isn;t that bad of a deal! So, do i just plug my modem into the phone line in the hotel room and dial the local #? Or are there 2 phone jacks or what?

Most of the phones will have a data port on the side so that you can connect your computer or they will have a separate data port on the wall next to the room table. Most of the WDW resorts I've visited lately have both!

Heck yes! Getting the company to spring for a month of Net Zero is a great idea!:wave:

You can try them free for 30 days and I checked, they have several local orlando numbers.

There's a data port on the side of the phone. plug a phone line into that, then connect to your laptop.

Think you have to dial 9 first but there's a card in the room that explains all that.

just remember to bring a phone cord!!!!

Hmmm....so PeoplePC eh? Are they just another Dial-Up ISP? That may be the way to go, haha.

So, it's 75 cents per call do dial out? I can do that!

Everytime I visited w/ my family we just used an AOL free access disc (you can pick them up at wal-mart or any number of places) and that worked fine, HOWEVER, you will have AN EXTREMELY HARD TIME cancelling your AOL. Not sure about peoplepc however.
