OT: Help w/ ibook Net connectivity in UK

[Tom Karlen]

Greetings:

My college age daughter is spending the semester in London.  She has 
an SE 366 ibook with Airport card installed.  Presently her only 
Internet access is a Window$ :( computer lab at school. She has 
managed to figure out the electricity differences, but is having a 
hard time with getting net access with the ibook.  Plugging into the 
Windows lab w/ ethernet is one alternative, but the lab hours are 
limited and its not convenient to her flat.  Starbucks & a few other 
coffee houses offer wireless access on a monthly basis, but its 
pricely at about $45 .   The best and most convenient alternative 
would be a dialup account using the phone in her flat.  She tells me 
that phone lines are not billed like they are in the US, but by the 
minute, which is quite expensive.  In my web searches I found a good 
number of free ISP's in the UK, so I'm hoping that someone can help 
me with understanding the rate structures of  dial-up access in 
London, so I can determine whether its financially feasible to go 
this route.  Feel free to reply directly off-list.  TIA

Tom
