[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1641027, member: 234411"] @ [B]Lori..[/B] - agree w/ [B]Chscag[/B] on looking for an intermittent access to the internet rather that setting up a potentially expensive monthly charge in your mother's house if she has little use for the service. A cellular iPad as suggested would be an easy option; another thought is whether you have a cell phone that can setup a Wi-Fi 'hotspot' which would broadcast a wireless signal. Finally, take a look at a [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MiFi"]MiFi Device[/URL] - this is basically a portable 'hotspot' and is offered by a number of cellular services, some may have 'pay as you go' plans - check [URL="http://www.cnet.com/news/get-a-pay-as-you-go-mifi-mobile-hot-spot-for-89-99/"]HERE[/URL] for some discussion (but be careful for the lesser known providers that they have good service coverage where your Mom lives) - let us know! Dave :) [/QUOTE]
