This is one reason I keep hearing that people stick with AOL. Long, long
ago when I finally left AOL, the "final straw" was that they didn't have a
local dialup number where I lived and ibm.net did. The IBM Global Network -
now part of AT&T - has one of the most extensive networks of *global*
dialups in existance. I rarely need to use the 800 number and when I do, it
actually works.

There really are viable, less expensive alternatives to AOL out there.

What I want to know is; what are you plugging into??? :-)

Where are you finding a telephone jack? Most of the persons
whom I asked to follow home to make an e-mail connection at their
residences, suggested the following: 1) That I get a life 2) That I
should get my head examined and 3) The most common, that I
should perform a sexual act by myself !

I generally don't stay at campgrounds on a regular basis, so that
source become a hit or miss. How do I use my Juno account?
Any suggestions ??

Thanks

What you are saying is good if you want to sit in your GMC in the
back yard. But....with roaming fees, long distance charges and
anything else they can grip you for, what are the real costs ?

You did some heavy duty traveling last year, what was your cel-
phone bill for the winter ??

Another idea is to try the Free internet providers..
There are at least 5 in the U.S. now...Someone on this
list posted Netzero.com on here a few months back..have
saved about $60.00 already!
Anyway... They have local dialups all across the country
just check their dialup numbers and compare to your
stoping spots....
Another thing is the truckstops that have Cable tv and
phone hookups in the parking lot...If RVers started
using that system and requested it in the campgrounds
and RV parks...we would be all set. I posted that info
here earlier and don't have the link handy..but if
anyone wants it I'll look it up.
