Hello again.

I am setting up my laptop with several configurations so I can be sure of access during our Feb trip.

I am currently doing the setup for AOL and they give only 2 numbers for Italy:

Gallarate: 0-331717015
Varesse: 0-332806009

Do I have to modify these numbers in any way for use in Florence?

I'll get you a few different ISPs to sign up with. I completely forgot so please forgive me :-) I'll write tomorrow my time with the info.

There's an internet cafe down the block from the Hotel Lungarno, between the Hotel Lungarno and the Ponte Vecchio. While you're there, you should go to the little balcony overlooking the Arno River just at the entrance to the hotel and have a look at the
G I A N T R A T S O F F L O R E N C E
floating below. They're sure to amaze you.

But, frankly, why would you bring your laptop to Florence? Why would you possibly need to hook up? Are you going there for business? Or are you insane? Those, I believe are the only two options.

I will not be using internet cafes, unless my connection attempts completely fail, in which case I would probably have to go home.

I am the managing partner for a web hosting firm and will be working every day for 5 hrs, instead of my normal 12. We'll be staying all month.

So, it's a catch-22. It is thanks to my work that I can go for a month, but I also have to work while on "vacation."

I am going to be of little help but that little might actually help. There is a little piazza a street or two over from the Duomo where American Express used to be. If you are facing the Duomo, you take a street to your right at the end near the Duomo. In that piazza, which name I do not recall, there is a shop where they rent computers and internet access mostly to students. It's best to make an appointment, because it is heavily used by students who literally sit by the hour working. The price seemed cheap to me, seems I recall 1500 lire per hour?
It is nothing like an internet cafe. Nothing is going on there but people working quietly. Connection is clean and fast and reliable.

Here you go Kaitlyn.

I am the managing partner for a web hosting firm and will be working every day for 5 hrs, instead of my normal 12. We'll be staying all month.

---

We frequently work on vacations. Why we are in Hawaii right now and Steve is working almost full time. I am tinkering around doing a few new web sites. Working on vacation is better than the alternative of not taking a vacation. And I totally understand your 12 hour days (Steve and I are both from the software industry and an 8 hour workday is just TOO short). So, shorter work days on vacation will be a vacation in itself.

- - which leads me to - - web hosting company?? Please tell all - you can email me if you want to - which one, what do they offer, etc.? I need to move SlowTrav because Chris Coburn has kindly done some database programming for us - to catalog our reviews and make it easier for me to post them. My current web host (Mindspring/Earthlink)does not have ASP (for the data base) and the other one I use (Yahoo web hosting) doesn't either.

Kaitlyn, have a great vacation! And since you will be online, hop over to this message board and post info about your trip when you get a chance. AOL works well for me in Europe - but I also log into Mindspring/Earthlink. I have always wanted to try one of the free Italian ISPs - you still pay for the phone call, but not much - so thanks again Cristina for setting that up.

Pauline,

I know you had your PCs and didn't have to worry about it, but did you notice whether there was anyplace in Pienza with internet access? I'd just as soon leave the laptop home, but I do need daily access to my email.

Cristina - THANK YOU. I printed the page out and will try it. I appreciate your time and effort.

Pauline: I think AOL must have trimmed their access list. They really only show the 2 numbers nowadays and require AOL ver 7 for access. However, I am certainly going to try some of the numbers you posted, because they may be active but just not published by AOL at this point.

The web hosting is Site Works ( www.siteworks.com ) and has been hosting since early 1996. We offer ASP with mySQL database integration. The developer for UBB has been a client since 1997, so we have many clients with forums like this one

We leave this Thurs. Yay. This site and it's members have been so helpful. I look forward to being able to contribute instead of ask, ask, ask.

Kaitlyn

Have a great trip Kaitlyn! Check out those AOL numbers - on our last trip I got the latest access numbers for Earthlink and there were hardly any compared to the year before - turned out it was an error on their web site and they didn't list all the numbers.

Chris, I don't remember any internet caffe in Pienza. The ones we used in Sorrento were very lame - filthy keyboards and slow computers. Still okay for just checking email. I know - there is a vacation rental agency based in Castelmuzio and they claim to have an internet caffe, but Zak laughed when I showed him their web site info - said it didn't exist. Anyway, ask Zak - maybe he knows of some place local.

When in Italy we obviously use our computer for business. We find that there are several problems that arise, the first of which is that from some hotel telephones, the modem will not "shake hands" with the provider (aol or earthlink, both of which we use). It usually has something to do with the type of switchboard the hotel has. When you dial for the outside line, the modem does not recognize the signal. Our experience is that from some hotels we are able to connect perfectly following the instructions to get an outside line and from others there is a total lack of success.

The other issue is whether the modem recognizes the dial tone that exists in the local system. You can get around this by adding a command to your modem setup string tellig it to ignore the dial tone. This is done by inserting X1 or X3 after the initial AT command. On our modem set up we do this by going to Settings, then to Modem, then to Advanced Connection Setting, then to Extra Setup where you add X3 or X1.

In any event check your modem booklet for more info.

Also, if looking for internet sites in Italy, trying going to our web site at www.villasitalia.com and checking the links section.

Martin

Thanks Martin! That turning off the option to wait for a dial tone is essential - I always remember on our first call when we are there. We have not had problems from hotels in Italy - but have probably not stayed in nearly as many hotels as you!!

Chris
RE: Internet cafe in Pienza

Yes there is a very small (5 station) and clean cafe in Pienza.
I can't find the card but I can describe its location. At the East end of town (the end with the restaurant not the gate) you make a right on the first street and you will find a small piazza.. make another right and it is at the end on the left. I did not make use of it but checked it out .....
While your there have lunch at Osteria Sette Di Vino in the Piazza Di Spagna it's fabulous
