Hi There


I live in the UK and will be visiting Australia in
December and was wondering if anyone could help me with some
information regarding the use of my Toshiba laptop in Melbourne.

Looking at the more pragmatic rather than techie answers, is the cost
a problem? I haven't stayed in an Oz hotel with high speed
connections but do know US hotels charge about US$10 a day for the
facility. When I've been in Oz I've bought a prepaid CD rom from
Optus or Telstra (Au$10 - 30 depending on the hours you want) that
gives local call rate access in most big towns and cities. Large
hotels charge 70 - 80 c for an untimed local call so this could be
the cheaper option.
