Okay now I understand about the 100 ft of telephone line. How are you so up
to date on all this computor stuff?
By the way I went and picked up my new to me 27' 1982 International
yesterday and the ultima 2020 brake controller that Doug recommended did
real fine. I also got my first experence with a equalizer hitch. Reese. It
did well also. I Just got my film, on the hensley so will look at that.
Towing the airstream with the 99 Silverado 5.3 270 hp v-8 was no problem.
rolled right along at 65 miles per hour. It is alot different then pulling
thoughs 14 and 12 wide house trailers though.

you some how doing it with the dish. Curious >>

I call my Mindspring account which has an 800 number (10¢ a minute) and then
TCP/IP over to my AOL account.... download mail and read and respond off
line
then upload replies. AOL has an 800 number too. Of course if I'm in an
area
where Mindspring is local I just call the local POP.

I can call from campground offices, Flying J's, truckstops, Kinkos and my
preferred spots... friend's driveways. That's why I bring my 100 foot phone
cord. (c:

It doesn't get any better than waking up in the Airstream the morning,
letting the dogs out to pee, getting a cuppa and connecting to my online
friends..... while the dogs eat breakfast. (c:
