I've been using Gric for a long time now. It's a roaming service that seems to partner with a lot of UK ISPs. Download the latest list of dial-up numbers before you leave, then when you tell it your new location it will show all available local numbers. Your regular ISP logon will work on the partnered systems. However, recently I've found that hotel broadband for about $10 US /day is a good bet. Even better, I never seem to be far away from an unsecured WiFi connection which I use for my POPs that support secure communications. Apple stores are also a great place to connect for free - although I feel the need to boot into Linux at the time so as not to be too rude ;-) -- Nick TheBat! v3.0.1.33 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
