Since I live by broadband at home and the office, I have no need for a dialup account here locally.

However, when I travel and take the laptop, sometimes I need to be able to connect to the net via dialup. My broadband is through my local cable company and through my business phone company, so my current accounts to offer dialup.

For those that travel, what do you do to connect while on the road?

I've kept an AOL account for a couple of years because I can pretty much get a dialup number in any city/state, but it's not worth it for the price. Plus it's slow.

Many hotels now have high-speed in the rooms or in the lobby, but for those that don't... what's the best (least expensive) way?

Thanks!

Want free access?...Most city/town librarys have free access. I used one on the way home from Ohio. I checked my email, posted here and the boy got caught up on his online game. Cost...Free
