I completely agree with Rhonda, that Ethernet card is well worth it. I use it with my high-speed cable internet, which is similar to DSL. I also have a wireless network, and I am looking forward very much to using my BN wirelessly, (is that a word, Grin), but there will still be times when I will need to use the card I have now. For instance, I am planning to take a trip this summer and I will be staying in a hotel that doesn't have wireless, but it does have high-speed internet through a data port. I will only have to plug my card into an Ethernet cable, and the cable into the data port, and away I go. So even though I will be switching to a wireless card as soon as I can, I won't be giving up my "ruggedized" Ethernet card. I got mine for $80 at
www.pagecomputers.com I just typed the model number from the manual into the edit box and found the right card with no problem.

Even if you go wireless, those cards won't be that much. Most companies won't let you have dial up and DSL too. At least, Consolidated, which is my ISP won't. If I were to use dial up, they would charge me another $14 per month. I think it's a good thing, though probably most people would say to wait. ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.pulsedata.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote
