thanks, Robert and Linda, I am no techie so I don't know, I know there are modems in the rooms and when I was down there last time I took my Pacmate and had no trouble once the technical person put in the information from the pacmate in or vice versa, whatever he did. I may just not take the BP then, take my netbook instead. But my poor friend is going to be very unhappy because he didn't bring his laptop. Patti "Amazing--these buttons are amazing!"
