Since you don't need a DSL connection, how COVD can help in this area? I was hypothesizing that it could provide services or equipment to the hotel, which provides the DSL-based connection for you. Some of the equipment and most of the technology is common with what's used for direct DSL connections, the only difference is that the interconnect point is inside the hotel rather than inside the CO. As I said, I don't know if COVD has stuff to offer here (I don't follow COVD closely). Rather, I was addressing the poster who said DSL doesn't work on the road. I have DSL at home, DSL at the office, and use the same basic DSL technology with the same Ethernet card when I'm on the road, if I stay at almost any hotel that has high-speed Net access. Hotels don't tell you it's DSL, and you have no reason to really care as a user, but that's what it is. Regards, Fund
