Hi Eleanor Ok I have several problems with that, being in France, 3g internet is very expensive, they have suggested that before, £30 or euros for evenings and weekends and £50 for 24/7. I am not in a town so the nearest mobile mast to me is too far away. This is why, until I get broadband which hopefully won't be too long a wait, it must be dialup. There are ways to do this but I don't understand the technology.
