Your best bet is if you happen to run at a gas station that has wireless
internet. I recently came back from a road trip, and it was nice that some
gas stations had wireless access for free internet. If you're staying at a
hotel, that could also have wireless internet. If it does, charges vary
from free to (in my experience) $10 an hour. Also, see if your ISP also
has nationwide dial-up numbers. Cheers! --Jago
