[PLUG] mobile access to internet

["eric@lucii.org" <eric@lucii.org>]

I need some advice... I'm going to be traveling early next month
and I will be using a new laptop running Mandrake 8.0.

Currently, I use a Cable modem so I don't have a local ISP with 
telephone access.  And besides, I don't want to dial long distance.

So, how do I get internet access while on the road?
I don't want to dial long distance.  "Free" services like 
NetZero or the first month of AOL don't work with Linux (true?)
so they are no help.

I was thinking of calling an ISP in the city where I'll be 
(Colorado Springs) and seeing if they'll sell me a dial-up for 
a week with minimum fuss (don't need SMTP, mail account, web 
page, or any other such overhead).

Does anybody have any other ideas and/or opinions?

Thanks!

Eric
