Well, I use my E-mail both with a telnet connection and with Outlook
Express, and they both work really well when I am away from home.  In some
places you have to establish your wifi connection and then go to Internet
Explorer before you do anything but it works really well.  In my case my
computer will indicate that there is a wireless network within close
range, and I go from there into the control pannel and then connections
and most of the time away I go after that!
