If you put in a wireless access port for the web cam, you can then also
let
your guests have free access the the wireless LAN for internet access

using
their own laptops from their hotel rooms.


Thanks, Mike. We've already got this for our guests. I decided it was a
"must-have" early on.

Surprisingly (to me), in our first 14 months it's proven to be very popular
with *maybe* eight people. Other guests may use it in the lobby to check
email, but most couldn't care less about "internet access".

Bottom line: Most of the traveling public really does not want to be
bothered with email or internet when they're on vacation, and few have
wireless capability. Of those who used it a lot, most were business
travelers, and most were Asian. (Their laptops all have wireless capability
built-in from the get-go.)

Use will expand over time, I'm sure -- but for now it's just another neat
toy to have.
