Currently on the train going to Montreal.

ViaRail has WiFi internet access in their first class cars! Certainly makes the 4 hour trip more interesting. Nothing like free booze, 3 course meal and surfing TA + pr0n.

The speed isn't fantastic (15k / s - tops), but enough to do email, basic web and chat. I believe they've blocked everything but port 80 - as I can't seem to get messenger or webmessenger working.

None the less - technlogy is uber good and makes me uber happy.

BTW - I am in the web-based 2HP.ca Radio chat room if anybody is up to chat. URL is below.

Au revoir!

Ahh.. Memories of getting trashed on VIA back from Montreal, and still having my net access..

Mmmm Free Booze..


Expired,

Anybody know how to get proxy setting shown w/ WinXP Home?

Apparently Via is using a proxy - and I need the specific settings for some apps.

Cheers.

I think ~$370 is the Via1 price (with no discounts), I don't pay - company does. You can get a 7-day pre-booking discount and other corporate rate discounts.

That's awesome !!

BTW, as far as I know there will be FREE high-speed wireless Interet all around San Francisco sometime in 2005.. Hopefully Toronto will be quick to follow !
