Hi again,

My dial-up is certainly not what I want but the only option at the moment here where I live.

My home is actually on a small island off the Tasmanian coast with few people.
I am not connected to the electric grid and I am only on 12 Volt batteries. I charge them with three solar cells.

I would have the option to get Satellite Internet but the modem is 240Volt.
If I add an inverter to my system my batteries will not cope with the power demand.

I have to look seriously into finding a low powered 12 Volt modem - but about this technology there are not a lot of knowledgeable people who could advise me.

Cheers Moxi
