Thanks Terry...

I should have clarified that I am looking for intermittent on-demand service while traveling the
interstates. I really don't want to sign up for a subscription. T-Mobile an on-demand service at
$6/hour with no commitment. I just stopped outside the Borders here in town and in the parking lot I
was able to get the T-Mobile login screen on my iPAQ 5555. I like the FlyingJ Truck Stop price a
bit better though, ie. its $1.95/hour according to their web site, plus FlyingJ's are all over the
place on the interstate highways...

I sent Love's an email, so hopefully I will hear back from them as to cost, availability, etc.

Ideally if I can find a motel with free internet access then that is the way to go, but sometimes in
small towns that may not be possible...

Thanks again...
