CentOS - Mar 2017 - Hotel ethernet via nmcli

Here I sit in my hotel room with my Cubie armv7 server with Centos7.

They have an ethernet cable here, so most likely I will not need to 
resort to putting a WiFi USB dongle and trying to master nmcli.

But I have to web authenticate to their portal with my personal 
information.  Is that possible with a text web browser?  I seem to 
recall that Centos has one.  What to install?

Of course, catch-22 here.  How to install it to have the tool to 
authenticate!

Going to have to go down to the conference ethernet cafe.  Oh well.

Have a fun night, all.

links can authenticate.  It's not user friendly though.

I came across an interesting script[1] recently for automating web
authentication. It might be helpful in the circumstances you describe.
