I'm sorry I haven't been watching the whole message thread, but this pc
you're using is it a desktop or a laptop?  If it's a laptop you can
alway take it somewhere where you can get internet access, such as a
coffee shop, truck stop, whatever...  You can go to www.jiwire.com and
they have a WiFi database there that you can search and find WiFi
hotspots in your area.  I live in Montgomery AL and I went there and it
listed 43 WiFi hotspots that were within 10 miles of my zip code.  Some
were free and some you had to pay for access.  The pay sites usually
aren't that expensive, I know at truck stops it's generally around $5.00
for 24 hours of access.

Though if it's a desktop pc you have Kubuntu on, then I guess I just
wasted your and my time...  ;-)
