Works swell!  :-)  Works the same no matter where I am as long as I can hit the
internet.  I have an account at Fidotel for this echo and as a backup for the
cooking echo.  He, Fidotel, will disappear for days at a time for no apparent
reason.  I have another account at Waldo's for the cooking echo, but he doesn't
carry this one and I've never asked.  He'd probably do it if someone asked.  I
used to go to Doc's Place and download QWK packettes via HTTP but I've lost my
userid/password and never asked about getting it reset.  I'll send you email
and
attach a file for your perusal.

We bought another 5th wheel, an older/bigger one than we already had.  It's
pretty much permanently parked in Arizona since we bought another car and left
it there, think of the RV as a small/cheap condo with
water/sewage/trash/groundkeeping/parking/pool/WiFi included in the rent.  We
fly
to/fro Las Vegas and rent a car to get to/fro the airport/RV park (about $60
for
the 24hour car rental and drop fee for the one-way rental, a 2 1/2 hour drive
but we overnight in Las Vegas before/after the flight).  The original 5th
wheel,
and truck for towing it, are still here in Anchorage.  We use them in the
summer
here in the form of a cabin that we park down in a little place called Funny
River from early June through late August.
