  am going to be traveling to the Midwest in October and must have dial up

  provider. Because of the DSL, I cannot simply drop Verison for another 
  provider.And, would you believe Verision (formerly Bell Atlantic and 
  GTE) does not allow eastern customers to access their accounts in the Midwest 
  or western states or visa versa. Most of their technical and billing personnel 
  were unaware of the problem and could not solve it. Even Public Relations at 
  their corporate HQ was not aware of the problem.My request is simply 
  this. Aside from AOL, what nationwide provider would you 
  recommend.Thanks for your help,Jim 
  Barone<<<<I bought a block of time (150 hours for 
  about $65CAN) without time limit of use from a local ISP who offered a 
  "Roaming Service". The Roaming service provides me with tel numbers for local 
  ISPs just about anywhere around the world.This roaming service is 
  subscribed to many ISPs and I suggest you contact local providers and ask them 
  whether they offer a block of internet connect time without expiry date and 
  whether they have a roaming service plan.This 150 hours provides me 
  with an easy backup service without monthly fees as well.Good 
  luck!Herman
