My brother uses his cell phone and an adapter on his laptop to connect
to the 'net when he's away from home. It works well for a few short text
messages, though the connect speed of about 14k isn't adequate for a lot
of surfing.

I think he uses Sprint wireless.

Me again, ask, learn, ask, learn.

This one is about internet connectivity. The marina has wireless
connectivity which is great but what are my options underway or at
anchor?

Are there any options for a substantial connection, something through
which
I could move larger files? I imagine that if cost is no issue then
there is
certainly an answer but last time I checked, cost was an issue.

If nothing affordable then even something to beam a few e-mails
through
would be good. Maybe I should be looking more closely at those PDAs
.... just
replaced my cell phone, wonder if they'll let me return it.

Any of you guys connected while away from the docks? If so, tell us
what
rigs you're using and what's good/bad about them.
