> Hi all,
> 
> Lucky me is off for a three week holiday at xmas (Singapore, 
> Australia and Bangkok). I'm going to be bringing my powerbook with me 
> as I have some work to do while I'm away (and I'll also be writing a 
> travelog, but that's another story), but I'm not having any luck 
> sorting out a connection to the 'net.
> 
> Unfortunately my current ISP (http://www.madasafish.com/) isn't a 
> member of GRIC (http://www.gric.net) or iPass (http://www.ipass.com/) 
> at the moment. I've put a request in that it's something they might 
> want to look into offering, but that doesn't help me in the short 
> term.
> 
> I'm trying to avoid signing up with another ISP as I'm extremely 
> happy with what I have, but so far, everything I've seen involves 
> paying for a fixed minimum term. 
> 
> Does anyone have any recommendations or tips where I could start 
> looking? 
> 
> This is the sort of thing that I'm looking for:
> 
> 1: No fixed term - It's only for three weeks, I don't want to be 
> stuck with a 1 year contract for a service I'm not going to use.
> 
> 2: Cheap (ish) - Cost doesn't really matter, but it would be nice if 
> it didn't cost the earth.
> 
> 3: Mac friendly - Or at least someone that supplies all the relevant 
> info without having to install any software.
>

> TIA.
