Hi,
I believe I can get a LAN card for my HP2210 in the form of an SD card, set up an account with BT (or someone) and pick up t'internet at hotspots located around the country.
Has anyone got any tips, best one to buy? which ISP? Does it really work?

You can get online in places like McDonalds and Starbucks....but you will need to subscribe to whoever runs the service at those locations. BT Openzone runs at McDs but I'm not sure who does it for Starbucks. You can get access at most airports and places like that as well.
Yes it works but it can work out pricey when compared to standard internet access from home.

Thanks Charlie,
Can I buy the LAN card from Total PDA?
