Thanks everyone for the advice
Hopefully you'll be able to use those...

The last time I was in a hotel... I was limited to http/https, aim, msn, smtp and pop3.
A little creative workaround will usually do the trick...

And... no, the WAP was not encryped and the ssid was easily found.

They did not charge for connecting though... just limited what you could do.

I was in a Marriott....
