    Yes - at a hilton there. Only - its a swisscom hotspot. And trying to
    explain things to tier 1 tech support might not be the most useful
    thing to do .. I'm going to be already jetlagged and catching up on
    work before my next flight.

    Funny. During its all too brief life, Connexion By Boeing never gave
    me this sort of problem, I used to use it all the time on lufthansa
    flights.

    Yeah, and then go catch up on all the work that's piled up after 18++
    hours flying from the US to India. Fun.

    Thread's gone way OT now - I'll close it here.
