20 I had planned on finding wireless connections and then ethernet
21 networks as a backup. Either one has proven to be totally impossible.
22 I need something I can rely on and since using public computers is
23 too dangerous it sounds like I need to dial up. I could just make
24 sure that there is an available phone line where I plan to go and that
25 my dial-up provider has a local number there.
26
27 Can anyone recommend a particular global dial-up company?
