Get online through the calculator
      #379924 - Tue Jan 15 2008 12:44 AM

Hi all,
Somewhere I read that if your ISP is down, you can still get online by going through the calculator or Word. I don't remember how. Anyone ever do this?
Thanks, Alan

Your ISP is exactly what it says, an internet service provider. They provide a server at the end of your telephone line that connects you to the internet. If their service stops, everything stops. There isn't any way round that.

Do you know that we're all in line for succession to the throne? Really?
Well, if forty-eight million, two hundred thousand, seven hundred and one people died I'd be Queen.
