.com it looks like there is still nothing there. Check this out though: http://www.geofone.net/bgan-sale.htm These are lightweight, plenty fast, USB, Bluetooth, ethernet, and the page even mentions Linux. $20/day and $7.95/MB doesn't sound so bad. How can I figure out how much data I send/receive right now during minimal operation? - Grant -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I'll have to set up a comparison between GSM phone rental and satellite system rental. Lots to consider with data, international voice calls, speed, convenience, and cost. What would you use to measure how much data you're downloading and uploading to/from the internet? - Grant -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

acienda on the beach. In my experience, staying connected on the road is really hard. A satellite system would make it really easy, but somewhat expensive. - Grant -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

honestore.com/index.cfm?page=rentals $50/week and $7.95/MB sounds affordable. I'll have to do some testing to see what kind of data charges I might incur at that rate but that sounds pretty good to me. - Grant -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

ecific to skype and the solution only involves the skype ebuild so I'm sure they won't help with firefox-bin.

a bit (and I know a little > about the quality how it is written, and it talks by network). What would you recommend as an alternative? From what I understand, I could sign up with a voip service and install a client. Would you recommend any in particular, both service and client? - Grant -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

work out" when you get there. That has ended in disaster for me. If you aren't sure, get the satellite. Otherwise, maybe you know the hotel has wireless, or you can dial up a local ISP from your room, or you know GSM service will be solid and they sell SIM cards in that country, etc. - Grant -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
