I'm not a road warrior in the true sense, although I'm never offline 
unless i want to be.

but i have a deal with earthlink that allows me unlimited dsl, north 
American [US, Canada, hawaii, Alaska] toll-free local and long 
distance phoning, and three 'virtual' phone numbers [Boca Raton, Los 
Angeles, and Syracuse, NY] for under $100 a month, all in. With extra 
'localized; area-coded phone numbers at $4.99 a month.

Plus, I can hook my dsl modem to any dsl 'capable' [data-capable] 
line, whether Earthlink, or any other [even unassigned] anywhere in 
N.America. So with my carryall, [Ti-Book, dsl modem, portable 
firewire, palm130, iPod, TurboMouse pro, and a spare iMac type 
keyboard] i can pretty much hook up anywhere, and at home my 
Bellsouth 'dial tone' service will cost 12 bucks a month... total 
cost for continental dsl/long distance= 42 for the LD phone, 42 for 
dsl, 12 for my one landline...and zero time charges. Haven't need a 
cel phone for 2 years. I bought my Titanium 667 with the savings in 
cellular time charges.

And Macstumbler, Kinko's, and Starbucks, [not to mention plazas near 
gov't buildings, libraries, etc] fills in the 'gaps'

Maybe i am a road warrior [budget and high access type] after all.
