Jan, Thank you very much! I have created a new page:
http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Wikilearn/MeteredInternetAccessCentralAmericaBelize (There was a slight delay while I located Belize ;-) And included a portion of that on the summary page: http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Wikilearn/MeteredInternetAccess I've taken the liberty of replying to the list so that others know this information has been added.

(Register at http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/TWiki/TWikiRegistration -- you will need to know your name, your email address, and your home country ;-) You can also send me information via email, but I make no promises about how soon or in what form I add it.
