Thanks very much. I went to the BT Openzone website and searched for
hotspots in Rome. Unfortunately most of these seem to be in hotels. I assume
that hotels would not be happy with someone not their customer walking in
off the street with a laptop and using their service.

If they're big enough, they might not even notice. Remember, there are
no doubt other providers there you can use. In large UK cities now, I'm
finding that wifi coverage is getting close to total in some areas, even
on the street, and often with more than one provider! If you persist
with the laptop, I'm sure you'll find that you can use it.

I'm not as optimistic as you are. But then I'm still trying to find a
way to discard the slow dialup connection.
