Could you  have someone check with the hotel and see if they have a 
server running we could broadcast from?

We need 2 broadcast nodes. 1 at DSL speed and 1 at  dialup. Your guess 
is as good as mine on how many connections. Maybe you could set up a 
poll on those that can not attend but would like to tune it.
