Thanks. That was a big help, but I am also interested in how I would be able
to check my email. I know I would have to go to fuse dot net, but I'm not
sure what to do when it asks for my email address and password. Would you
braille them in on the b n and push enter or what? Not really sure how to
navitgate on the braaille note.

Hi Terry,
This really depends on the network available at the motel. Here are some
steps that may get you started:
1. Go to the options menu.
2. Choose connectivity, then choose wireless and press Y to turn it on.
3. Pres s to scan for aailable networks. Chances are, the first one
available will be the Hotel's network, so press enter on that one. It may
even have the name of the hotel in the name of the network. Once in the
configuration settings, press escape or space with e to add the record,
and answer "yes" to the question "add this record?"
4. Use the available network for your Email and Internet access.
If you dn't understand any of this, or if I left anything out, please
write bck and let me know.
HTH
Sarah

Hi. have a quick question. I am going to a motell and I want to use the
net
and check my email. Can some one tell me how I would go about this on the
braille note? Not sure how to enter pass words and things like that. I
know
on the computer you must turn on the forms mode, but I don't have any idea
about navigating on the b n. If any one can help me, I would verry much
appreciate it. I am running 6.11

Hi Pam,
Very cool, indeed! I can utterly relate. For the last several months I
have paid my rent using my mPower--or pre-mPower-BN--and it works
excellently. I have done everything from recharging my online calling
card pin, to buying flash cards, to supporting my coffee addictrion with
a
five-pound bag of coffee beans, all with the mPower. It handles
websites
so well now, it's amazing! I still haven't gotten over it.
And since I'm here writing this message, I have to brag just a little,
even though I could have done this under KS6.11. I had to leave work
late
because of an extremely late driver, so, since it's Friday night, I
thought I'd celebrate getting off work with a little visit to a nice
little bar downtown. After I got seated and served, I thought I'd scan
for wireless networks, just out of curiosity. Much to my surprise, I
not
only found a wireless network, but found that it was fully available,
with
no security. I proceded to check my Email, download a book from
Bookshare, and answer some mail, one of which is this very message. And
all of it went so smoothly!
I know, none of this is earth-shaking news, but it's so, so cool! I'm
sure this is someone's home network, and that they have no idea that
there
is some weird blind person sitting somewhere in a bar taking advantage
of
their service, but how cool is it? Very, in my not-so-humble opinion.
Happy Friday, and have a fine and dandy weekend,
Sarah

Very cool. Just made my first online purchase using the MPower. I used
it to order Flint River Ranch Dog Food from feedmypet dot com. (I
forgot
how to write it so that it would translate correctly again). Anyway
that
site was obviously quite accessable using the MPower, and Josef will be
getting his dog food to prove it.
