Well, I don't travel but dial-up is all I have here. The biggest thing, ask your ISP if they support Macs. If they do, then most likely it will work with Linux. Some ISPs have Windoze only scripts or something. I have never had one but have read about people having trouble using them. I have used pon, poff, wvdial and Kppp. They work well for me. Kppp may be the easiest but the others are good too. I hope you get a better connection that I do. It sucks here. 24K if I am lucky and keep trying. Just think OOo. Dale :-) :-)
