Is there a way I can "manually" connect to my internet connection using a
phone calling card?

I will be out of town & would like to connect, but there are no "local
access" numbers with my provider in the area I will be traveling to.

I don't know of any way to connect to an ISP with a phone calling card.
You will need a modem or a network adapter of some type.

If you're using a modem and a dialup connection, you will use an
initialization string that allows for pauses to enter the phone card or
credit card information. For that, check your modem manual under AT
Command Reference, but a comma in the init string is usually good for a 1-5
second pause.

And you'll probably want to create a new connectoid that uses the pause.

You may find that there where you're going, there are wireless hot-spots
where you can connect, even for a fee if necessary; or, places where you can
plug in via ethernet cable. Look for internet cafes or hotels.

Thanks for your help. I did locate how to enter the calling card info & then
use my local access number to connect. I appreciate you taking the time to
respond.
