I'm curious, is the below site some sort of mirror of RCM? Can you
post here when on the road and have it show up on RCM? Maybe I've been
sleeping under a rock but didn't know of such things.

I post regularly from on the road. I simply log into my normal usenet
server...which is giganews and $4.99 a month
My android cellphone allows me to "tether" via the USB port on the
bottom of it and I can connect easily.
Its not High Speed, but not bad and as long as I dont stay on for days
at a time, Sprint doesnt seem to object.

I'm curious, when I'm on the road I'm using the relatives or the
hotel's computer. Everybody has a browser, but nobody has a
newsreader. I tried google's last year, never again. Anything out
there to look at NG's from a guest computer?

What is your cell phone format? If you are using an Android type
phone....there are several news readers that will run directly on your
cell phone
http://android.newsgroupstats.hk/
is one such.
Since I have a laptop..and dont have to read the tiny screen..I tether
and use a "regular" computer.
Im tied to my cell phone as I type this on my home desktop via USB port
http://www.junefabrics.com/index.php
its available for a number of cell phone formats and the price is VERY
reasonable if you wish to pay for it. I liked it so much I actually paid
for (2) copies.
Now my wife can log into the net via her cellphone as well.
We live in a rural area..so the speeds possible during the day time is
less than what I can get in the city, but its still very respectable.
And since Sprint just raised the "all in one" cost $10 per month for
data..I have no qualms about running it.
