Dial Up Internet

MoreCowbell · 12-17-2006, 09:41 PM

I will be away for a week in a place that does not have broadband internet access. Does anybody have a dial up service that has decent speed and doesn't require a one year contract?

I have a mac.

Thanks in advance.

have no idea... honestly i went through a phase of using free isps... but alot of those free isps are either gone or no longer providing "FREE" service... and by FREE i mean literally FREE (there are hour limits per week of course)... why not just go to somewhere w/ internet access?

Do the wireless cards from Cingular work with Macs?

Depends on the card, and the mac: if you're talking powerbooks, the answer's generally "yes".

Also you can get just about any bluetooth phone working as a modem in Tiger with no problems. I haven't tried USB, but it *should* work just as well.

I have a bluetooth enabled blackberry. How would I use that as a modem?
