Hello List,
I have sent Email with a notetaker from a hotel and it worked very
nicely! I placed the nine comma before the phone number of my ISP which
worked in the city I was in at the time. One has to watch additional
charges a hotel might have on local calls. Should a hotel have free local
calls on their line, one shouldn't have any difficulty sending Email unless
their phone system cannot transmit or receive data effectively. If I
couldn't locate an extra jack to plug in my notetaker, I unplugged the
phone and used the cord from the phone to make my connection to my
ISP. Now that I have my BN and Wireless phone, I don't use the hotel for
sending and receiving Email. I may try sending Email from someone's home
should my ISP have a local dial in number. When I was in a hotel in New
York City, they had a two dollar charge for local calls and some limitation
on how many minutes could be used without incurring extra
charges. Needless to say, I used my wireless phone. I'm certain I could
have used my BN in Denver since the party I was visiting had unlimited long
distance on her line. I chose to stay with my BN and wireless phone when
sending and receiving Email. It worked like a charm and I didn't need to
program my BN for numerous ISP numbers.

I don't know if other countries have that, but I've had to do it in hotels
before. I can't remember off the top of my head if you use a regular
comma or a computer comma, but it does work to add it in the phone number
at the beginning of the number. I wish they would put these extra things
into the manual, but I guess that's what this list is for. <grin>

Hallo, Peggy. Thank you so much for letting me know what i SHOULD have
done (smile.) Is the nine plus comma only applicable in the USA? I
did look up the Manual in the hopes of getting guidance on this, but
there was none, so naturally relied on the manager's prior knowledge,
which must have been a comma missing!!!
Where on earth does one dig up this and similar technological niceties?
Thanks again, Peggy. Every time I try to use BrailleNote in a hotel in
future, i shall be forever in your debt.
Warm regards,
Jim Taylor.
