Just wondering if any of you know of a cheap dial up provider. I basically want to have cheap dial up service for when I go to VT to visit . Just something that I can use for checking webmail and the CPF.

Thanks in advance!
 
I have an 802.11g compatible wireless card but sitting in the comfort of a warm house and not having to leave is easier. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Gotcha. Check out PeoplePC and see if they have a local dialup in your destination city.
 
A buddy of mine uses:

No monthly charge, just by-the-minute. Looks good for occasional travel use.

I'm was thinking of trying them for travel, since I ditched DSL and lost the "free" dial up that came with with it, but I finally got a bluetooth capable phone for Verizon and I'm using that for "on the road" data access from my PC or PDA.

Cheers,
Bob
 
There are some prepaid services you can get, that may end up cheaper than paying a monthly fee, if you're only going to use them once in a while. Try your local Walgreens for the kits, in the same part of the store where the prepaid phone cards are.
 
Juno might be your best bet. You can use it for free with their advertisement banner adds and pop-ups and some limit on use (maybe 100 hours a month or so, I don't remember the exact number). I've used this as back-up for awhile. It's nice because it's free. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
