[HECnet] Out of action more or less until the 25th...

Gregg,

That might be true but I'm miles out of DC in VA. 

If internet access (and their rooms are cool too) is important to you* and for some god-forsaken reason you need to be stuck in this suburban hellhole for business, stay at Sierra:

Hotel Sierra in Sterling, Virginia
45520 Dulles Plaza
Sterling, VA   20166

1703/435-9002 or 1-800-474-3772, http://www.hotel-sierra.com/

* I was seriously getting 14-20 mbps down. It's a cool hotel anyway, only problem is the bar only had beer and wine. License issue. Oh and it's in the middle of suburban industrial park hell - everything is fake and 20 miles apart from each other, and I have no car.

Incidentally all hotels in the DC area are stuck with that because the
Feds insist on abusing the networks where they are centrally located.
It gets better closer to NYC, by the time you're staying in a NJ hotel
you're getting closer to your home's settings.
