Hello.

Sorry to post this here but with all you travellers around i thought someone may know the best way to do this.

I live in Scotland and have a family cottage in France. Im planning to spend a few weeks over there and need an ISP for 56k dialup.

My options:

1. UK isp , local call from scotland but would be internationl call from france

2. Uk isp + French ISP , local call from both (2 dialup adapters)

3. GPRS with roaming sim ... sounds expensive.

Does anyone have a simaler problem ? what is the best solution ?

Can you recommend any ISPs?

I have not queried any ISPs yet ... probably should.

Thanks for any help/suggestions
Scott

I go to Spain every year and I use a local rate Wanadoo connection as my ISP. I only use it while I'm there, and it just goes on the phone bill.
