access all day long?

or just to check emails etc

if the later, find an unsecure wifi conection, i normally allways find one.

or look for a bar that has wifi, ie buy a pint and they give your there password and let you use it.


oh and where abouts you going? as most hotels have a pc for 1e for 15mins access or simular?

I would have thought you could get a GPRS PCMCIA card for use over there. Give your network operator a call and ask the question.

Might be expensive tho

Need to use my lap top to use IE to log on to the computer here in the UK so I need an internet connection,

I see some of the reps that come to me have a card on their lap to get on the net but like I said I don’t know much about them.
