Re: [VAL] On Road Computer/E-Maill

Another option to consider. We have a local ISP that doesn't have 800
numbers for dial up. So we play the after 9:01 pm and weekends game and
then just call in. We are on Verizon service and they have a kit they
call Mobile Office or the like that works as a dialer for the phone.
Once installed just plug in the phone, click the icon and it will
connect you. We have used this method for two years and had overall good
results.
Occasionally we do find WI FI but mostly just use dial up on the road.
If you laptop is not already WI FI capable you can add it with a PCMCIA
card for around $30.
Our local ISP is only $11.95 per month so we aren't giving it up easily.
