Vonage Phone,Wifi, Traveling, with What Router?

Question

Here's the situation:  I now have a Vonage phone account, using the recentlyintroduced Linksys PAP2 adapter.  Works like a charm.  Those of you withbroadband ought to check out  (I don't work for them).  To usethe device you need a router with at least one spare port.I travel a lot and broadband access is pretty common in hotel rooms now.I'd like to bring my wireless laptop along with me as well as a small phonealong with the Linksys PAP2  (this will allow me to get and make phone callswhenever I travel...pretty neat.)I need a traveling router (small) that has an AP and also has a spare openethernet port on it...Anyone know and recommend such a device?  Remember small is good.Netgear just released a new traveling router; however no ethernet port.  Ialso looked at Apple's AirPort Express (also small)...but no spare ethernetport either...but it does a built-in USB printserver.Any recommendations?

That's the only one I've been able to find with this feature set (plus it has dialup). They've just started {taking orders for,shipping?} the WiFlyer, and I'm considering it. Did they just drop the price? I seem to remembering taking it off my list, as it was something like $250, but (now?) it's only $150. Probably $50 more than a travel router and a travel AP, but pretty reasonable...

After leaving my previous travel AP with a client, I've been looking for a replacement. Anything else out there (yet) in this market space?
