Jim and listees:  I've had limited success using public library (w/o laptop)
and get messages from som outfit called mailserv.com.  It was slower than
heck, but I did get the important stuff looked at while on the road.

>Volks,
>Will be leaving soon for our trip and want to stay connected via laptop
with the list.  The big question I have is:  where do you go to get a phone
line connection to log in.  I'm trying to avoid motels like the plague
(thats why we buy the Westy isn't it?!)  Are campgrounds willing to let you
hook up to their phone lines?  If you don't have AOL or some other 800
number access (I'll need to call back long distance with a calling card to
access our server) how do you make it all work....especially with a credit
card?  My cell phone won't work for any modem hook-up.  Have any of you ever
used one for modem hookup?  What brand?  What coverage?  What
success/failure have you experienced?
