I just found out about this from another list.
You can get free internet access from: www.netzero.net
They have access numbers in most cities.
The catch is you use their browser which dispays ads in an upper window.
I downloaded the software, but haven't tried it yet.
I though I would pass this on, it seems perfect for the sailing/vagrant type
person (which I am soon to be) that doesn't want additional monthly
expenses!
By the way, I'm new to the list, hello!
I have recently put a down payment on a 44ft. Tri in
Tacoma. We,(my wife and 10 year old son) are planning on sailing down the
coast
and waiting out the hurricane season before heading to the Sea of Cortez and
more distant ports......
We are currently in the process of finishing up the remodel and sale of
our house in Tempe, Az. and liquidating all our bulky items and businesses.
This seems like an interesting list and I look forward to being a part of
it until we head out of the country.
