[A/S] wireless travels??
I run a free wireless access node from my house here in Portland Oregon.
Most laptop cards have a program that you can pull up that will show you if
you in range of a free or a "for pay" hot spot. If you are running blind,
just turn on your laptop, launch the program that came with your wireless
card, and wait 2 or three minutes. Remember that metal screens (as opposed
to nylon or some other material) can cut out a wire less transmission, or
at least reduce it. Best to bring your laptop outside the trailer to
hunt. Higher the better; line of sight better.
Or, you can try the link below to give you a list of free hot spots in what
ever state you are traveling. Just drive to the area, and see if you can
pull in the signal on your laptop:
