Yeah, you read that right. I may have mentioned in a past post that I discovered a serial modem port on the back of my wireless router while dreaming of broadband. Apparently the port is a back-up if your broadband connection fails. Well, obviously if you don’t have any connection, the router would create one through the modem. After acquiring a free modem from work I’m happily writing my first post from the couch in the living room.

Eircom just socked us for a €140 phone bill. I’m paying €25/$34 for 28.8 dial-up … and we maintain an extra line for the dial-up at an additional €20. So, you could argue we’re paying €45/$61 per month for dial-up. But, it’s wireless dial-up now.
