I've done a little prep and found some potential wireless hotspots within
about a mile or so of the North 40. Here's my list, in case it's helpful
to anyone else:

Locations on Koeller: from the N40, go W to US41, then N to Koeller.

Fairfield Inn Oshkosh
1800 S Koeller St 920-233-8504

Applebee's Neighborhood Grill and Bar
1700 S Koeller St 920-231-8770

The Cafe at Basic
1622 S. Koeller Street 920-231-1177

The UPS Store #01250
1528a S Koeller Rd 920-231-1623

Starbucks Oshkosh Hwy 41 & 9TH
1150A Koeller Street 920-231-7208

Hawthorn Oshkosh Hotel Suites
3105 S. Washburn Street 920-303-1133
From N40, go W to US41, then S to hotel.

"Hilton Garden Inns has complimentary access available in the hotel
public areas and guestrooms of many locations. Check with each
location for availability."

I use my Verizon aircard in the laptop and get about the same kind of
bandwidth. It's become my only broadband link nowadays since its so
portable and I can use it anywhere - at home, on the road or in the
air. My hometown has EVDO rev A but most small towns have only 1xRTT
bandwidth and that's still fast enough for getting the weather. It
works pretty well in flight too, provided I'm near enough and over a
VZW tower and not too high to pick up multiple towers and confuse the
aircard. Operating the laptop while flying solo is a bit distracting
so I usually land at an enroute airport to check weather if the skies
start looking like crap when I'm by myself. One of these days I'll
probably upgrade to a 396 or 496 with XM weather, but right now I
don't need to spend that kind of extra $$$.
