Chuck,

   Good idea. I have a WiFi signal strength tester (4 LEDs, no meter) and
have seen how pointing it in different directions within the hotel room
can change the signal strength.

   Guess I'll need to reluctantly make the trip to Fry's for a USB wifi
adapter, entention cable, and antenna.

   And look at choices for WiFi/Cellular translators, too.

   More to carry on trips, but should help communicating with the office
network.

Thanks,

Rich
