Computer dummie needs help connecting to internet

In the past I had AOL, and when we hit the road for the summer,
connected my laptop using Verizon's Mobile Office software and my
Motorola V60S. I used the 14.4K connection. It was slow, but it
worked well enough for my purposes, and it was free!

Now I have Verizon DSL with Yahoo. When we take off for a few months
and are no longer connected to a land line, how do I connect to the
internet and Verizon Yahoo? Will I still be able to use the mobile
office or is there an 800 number I just can dial up on my cell phone;
and connect to the lap top with a USB cable?

Verizon offers some kind of remote access for an additional fee. How
does this work, and can I buy it for just a few months?

Thanks for any help

recommend you toddle on over to the internet-by-cell phone yahoo
group. join up (no cost) and then download and read the verizon
tutorial in the files section. once you've digested that you'll
probably find most of your questions have been answered. but you'll
likely have some questions that have not been answered. if that's the
case please post your q's and the group will be gald to respond.
<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ Inte....phonescoop.com will tell you if your phone is capable of those
features.

cost is minutes-of-use. verizon wireless becomes your ISP so all you
need to get on line is a browser and, if you download/send mail via
pop/smtp, your favorite e-mail client (outlook, eudora, etc). if you
get your e-mail from a web-based service you'll use your browser
(internet explorer, etc).

Depending on your mail service's setup, you may need something additional
to enable email via pop/smtp. If you get the Web working but not email with
a client, do a Google Groups search of this group for "stunnel".
