Most are 10baseT, but I think there's a growing movement to offer
802.11b in older hotels.

My guess is that they use DHCP.  I have only set up Internet 
connections for conventions, however.

I set up a booth at the Holiday Inn DIA last year.  To prevent 
unauthorized use, they have a www proxy which requires you
to enter a one-time authorization code.  They had the same system
at the Hyatt in Albuquerque.  They didn't have Internet in the 
rooms afaik.
