Re: [PRODIG] Internet access (when working abroad)

[Bob Croxford]

In the UK there are internet connection numbers which anyone can use. 
The providers charge 4p per minute and make money on the local call 
rate difference. My local Mac fixer uses one of these numbers when 
checking my system whenever he visits me. I have asked several times 
about these numbers in other countries but always drawn a blank. The 
numbers exist but hardly anyone knows about them. The useful thing is 
that you don't need any other software or settings.

I also notice that the filling station at the end of the road is now a 
WiFi access point with a special parking bay to use it. A smart sign 
tells me so. None of the staff have the slightest clue how it works or 
what it does!

Hi
When I was recently in the US I used my Pipex account (plenty of local 
dial
up points) to check mail. However, at dial-up rates, the best I could 
really
do was to send reduced size jpegs to people back home. I did answer one
stock request with a sample image (~600k) but in general, dial-up is 
not a
solution for sending 1Ds raw files...
