Sailmail is GREAT, you get 90min a week, if propagation is good, this will let you send 20 and receive 20 short e.mails each day. It is NOT internet access and runs at about 2kb. It works world wide for $250-$300/year. Sailmail could not cope with the 50-100 pieces of spam I get on my regular account each day, and there is no provision to collect other e.mail addresses. Sailmail seems to be very tight about spam, there is none. One caution, if a marina asks for your e.mail, DON'T, they put you on a mailing list. I take my laptop to a cafe once a month or so, or sometimes I wander across wireless, but I am not doing finances, so I only worry about viruses.

Lee,
If Sailmail is so slow, what did you use or did you just do mostly
without except you went to the Internet cafe? When you went to
Internet cafes, how did you protect against those who would like to
steal your account numbers, etc.?
