Hello Peggy, Just to clarify something here ... As mentioned on the list earlier, it is possible to have wireless access to your dialup account. However, this would be slow.
You would need a wireless access point of some description connected to your PC. If then, all your settings are correct, there would be no reason why you couldn't access your connection with your BrailleNote PK and a wireless networking card.
