From Milan / Como to Venice
Does anyone know how long it takes to get the train from Como to Venice? Can this be done as a day trip?
Also, any low budget suggestions on accomodations in Como for four?

Do you mean the town of Como or Lake Como, which has many towns on its shores?

The train from Como (change at Saronno) arrives at Cadorna station and takes 1:15 hours. The train to Venice departs from the Centrale station, and the fastest train takes 2:20 hours. Taxi or metro from one station to the other. Same route in reverse coming back.
If you left Como at 6:15 a.m., you could be in Venice by 10:15 a.m. The last train back to Milano Centrale departs at about 8:00 p.m. and takes 3:00 hours. Cab to Centrale. Catch the last train from Cadorna to Como at 11:45 p.m. and arrive at 1:20 a.m.
9.5 hours in Venice and 9.5 hours getting there and back.

Como is served by TWO railway lines:
= Ferrovie Nord Milano, with a station at "Como Lago" which is quite near the ferry docks and goes to Milano Cadorna
= Ferrovie dello Stato, whose Como S. Giovanni station is on the international Milan-Chiasso line and goes to Milano Centrale. It's a 10-minute walk across town from the ferry area.
