Out in the Middle of Absolutely No Where: WI-FI

[SHANEA]

Big Bend Ranch State Park Lodging

and wireless internet service (Wi-Fi) are available at the Sauceda Complex in the interior of Big Bend Ranch Sate Park.

Now days, Wi-Fi is for more than just surfing Al Gore's Wild West Web...    VOIP and SKYPE are great

WI-FI PHONE WITH SKYPE® SPH200W Makes and receives Skype phone calls wherever you have WiFi access№ No PC required

I've got this one at home which is doubly cool... DUAL-MODE CORDLESS PHONE WITH SKYPE SPH200D and ACCESSORY CORDLESS HANDSET WITH SKYPE SPH150D coupled with the new Netgear RANGEMAX NEXT WIRELESS-N ROUTER GIGABIT EDITION WNR854T I can make/receive phone calls up to about a 1/4 mile from the house.

BTW - if you are on ultra highspeed cable model/DSL/T1, I found that coming off the cable modem at 13mbs that my old wireless G router 10/100 was really slowing down my access, the wireless N router Gigabit has increased the throughput substantially.
