dataports/isp's again sorry :(

[BiGGy]

Hi all

sorry, i know this has been talked about on a few occasions. I have done a search but cant find the thread i got the info off before.

i now know a dataport is basically a phone socket on the phone in the hotel room, but i had a great link for a free local isp in orlando but due to a computer crash its now lost.

Be gratefull if anyone has a good free isp we can use while we are away so i can still post and depress those of you not there hehehe

also anyone know how much/if the hotel charges for the dataport use?

I think it might be Netzero that you're thinking of. They provide 10 hours a month free access. Take a look at www.netzero.net

As for cost, I think it will depend on the hotel - Disney charges 75c for a local call I think (or 35c for DVC resorts).

Hope this helps a bit.
