So I'd need to be able to plug into either a phone line or ethernet jack so I can easily determine that it's working, just not on their computer.

My budget is severely limited so I'm hoping theres a simple cable or something less costly than things like D-Link Pocket Router and WiFlyer.
Unless you needed to also be able to access the internet at those locations...

Might be cheaper?
