General Tips: Internet access is just beginning to catch on in major
cities. New sites are likely to spring up quickly, so check with the
travelers' grapevine. Business centers in upscale hotels often have
Internet access, or know of another facility that does. Failing that,
you can try to link up with a private access site such as a business or
university. Below is a list of several public access sites.
