International travel is why I stay with Earthlink. I've had almost no trouble connecting via local phone calls in Holland, England, France, Italy, and Spain, whether using my Mac or my Visor. There is a surcharge, but it's minor. But it depends on where you're going. In Holland, for example, public libraries in even quite small towns have public web-connected computers, which will let you get webmail. That's even cheaper, and you don't have to haul your computer around. I'm looking forward to the next trip, because now I have AirPort, and I'll be looking for hotspots. -- Charles Shere http://www.shere.org
