I travel all the time with a laptop, and here are a few obvious tips:

Take a phone jack cable with you of at least 8 feet.

Make sure your ISP has an 800 number to dial in, to obtain local access in the city location. Some ISP's have an 800 number to dial in to, that range from free to about .10 a minute.

If you are staying in a hotel many have broadband connections available that range from free to 9.95 a day. While most have a cable available you may want to inquire ahead.

And, be prepared to remove your computer from the case at the airport security checkpoint. Not much fun, but guess its necessary to sometime have your computer going down a conveyor one way while you're directed to take off your shoes or go another direction.

And the best part is that it sure passes time on long flights.

Good luck,
Rap
