Internet cafés.

We signed up for AOL. They seem to have a ISP in most countries. We are not sure yet if we will actually need an international ISP because there are internet cafes in most major cities. With AOL you pay by the minute. The amount depends on the country you are in. Update: We are canceled AOL. It is much more convenient to use internet cafe's. Most budget hotels do not have phone lines to use. At the moment internet cafe's are averaging about 2.5 $ an hour. We are finding on average that the more you pay, the faster the connection is. If you are using FTP or POP Mail, make sure the network you are using supports it. Not all places do, so test one of there computers before hand. Normally if ftp and the DNS is working so is pop mail. Also if you have your own laptop, they will often say no at first when you say you want to hook up yours to their network. Normally you can talk them into allowing you to use your notebook.
