As a result of a previous mention on this list, a friend bought one of the Pocketmail devices (their website is http://www1.pocketmail.com/get/index.html) and is sending back e-mails from a bicycle trip he just started from Toronto to the west coast. So far it seems to be working very well on the homebase end. I have no feedback yet on how easy and reliable hie finds it. I will report on that later. Garth McGeary Grumbles Rosborough RF-28
