Can't live without internet!
Since you are all reading this I assume you are avid internet surfers like me... ;D. We are planning a 10 week trip (my first one...) on a Trail Manor. I am very exited and happy to try the "simple life", sill, I don't think I can make it without my internet!! Does anyone know how wireless internet works and if it works in the small secluded towns? ???

Re: Can't live without internet!
Check out this wireless internet modem. Other users say it works pretty well. The speed is limited but should suffice for email and limited surfing.

Re: Can't live without internet!
A lot of RV parks do provide phone lines at their campsites. (Of course if you're in a small secluded town, it may not help you tho). If you have a laptop, it shouldn't limit you at all. Matter of fact, there are several people in here that have posted while out exploring the USA in their Trailmanor.

Re: Can't live without internet!
If you are looking for public internet access go to
http://www.connectnet.org
You will need zip codes for the places you want to visit.

Re: Can't live without internet!
Thank you for all the great advice! This is the best resource ever! I looked into the ositech.com site (thank you Bruce) and it looks like it will work out for me, though I will have to switch my phone to a nokia or motorola. Has anyone out there actually tried this device?

Re: Can't live without internet!
Thanks Bruce, what a great page! I am happy to report I got the futuredial.com device and installed the program on my laptop this sunday, I hooked the cable to my cell phone (samsung A310) and... IT WORKED!! It is trully amazing ;D Having DSL at home this seems much slower but I don't mind at all, having access on the road makes it all worthwhile! Thanks for all the great advice!

Re: Can't live without internet!
I use a Kyocera 6035 Smartphone, which is a cell phone and Palm PDA. Running Eudora mail on the Palm I download e-mail via Sprint PCS wireless web. This works fine for text e-mail. As long as I use my dial-up ISP (Sprint won't support smtp to send e-mail) I can send e-mail as well.
If I really have to surf the web, I can connect the phone to my laptop as a modem. At 14400, it's even slower than my dial-up connection at home, but works. Definitely discourages me from spending too much time on the web when I'm supposed to be camping :-)
PS
I haven't tried it, but PCS Vision is supposed to be high speed data access via the Sprint phone. They also have cards for a laptop.

Re: Can't live without internet!
I have been using this site for over a year now and I cannot believe the information here! Is this great or what?
