Steve, I just returned from Dulles, and, not only do they not have WLANs (despite having two Starbucks on one concourse), they don't have phones that take credit cards! I had to use this stupid Windoze-based terminal thingie to send one measly email, and it cost me $7. ORD, however, does have WLANs. It's just that they don't have Internet access because they are the baggage handling systems. I attached to three different WLANs on C concourse, but no go for the Net. I wrote about the experience in a recent edition of my newsletter: http://www.stratvantage.com/news/031403.htm#3 Does anyone know of a comprehensive airport hotspot list? Thanks.
