I am on Amtrak Zephyr going to California
It actually looks nice and comfortable so far. The trip should take 2
days. I am traveling with my 7 year old. -- Due to extreme spam originating from Google Groups, and their inattention to spammers, I and many others block all articles originating from Google Groups.

That will teach me to read more carefully. I forgot that Emeryville was near OAKLAND and not SACRAMENTO (and I used to live in Vacaville). Whatever! Enjoy the trip. My question is, how are you managing to stay connected? Jim |

I have a Linux laptop and use "Sprint wireless broadband" card called "sierra". This thing is awesome, works fast near Chicago, sometimes it is slow, and sometimes it does not work at all due to no coverage (in rural areas), but it is great to have. I have no idea how long into the trip it will work, but so far, I would say it worked 70% of time outside of Chicago area. Slow is fine with me, since I can easily work over a slow ssh connection. In the Chicago area, it works very well. In some other areas it is slow due to using some more inferior type of connection. -- Due to extreme spam originating from Google Groups, and their inattention to spammers, I and many others block all articles originating from Google Groups.

Maybe you will be using some of the older Southern Pacific (SP) lines
as you go. Sprint was SPradioInternal IIRC. something like that - was a microwave line across the whole train system - then someone thought why not sell time.... Sprint started and haven't looked back. In the old days there was the long multiple delay along the train tracks.... Martin Martin H.
