Assuming the equipment is the same stuff that's installed at many of
the Marriott hotels, it talks a web browser to activate the service.
The browser is auto-redirected to an internal hotel web page, and you
authorize the access for the fee (for 24 hours as noted above).

Be carefull with assumptions... some of these arrangements require the web
browser access to open the channel again during that 24 hour period. I
was at one last week, and used a hub in the room thinking I could use
a snom 200 for making calls. Didn't work. PC worked fine has long as
I started with the web browser, then x-lite would work; but the snom
never did. (The snom has been used in lots of hotel rooms around the
country, and I'm quit comfortable with its ability to handle nating,
firewalls, etc.) I wouldn't make any assumptions relative to sip and
iax2 though.
