As one who would still prefer to be using DOS rather than this new Window
thingy on computers........ :-(

Could someone put together a simple step-by-step guide on how to get GPRS
going so any cheap and ancient laptop can connect to the internet from a
hilltop.

Something along the lines of:

Buy such-and-such GPRS card
Buy Vodafone SIM
Plug into laptop
Install software
Tear hair out
Log onto 'KST
Liaise with the world

Its difficult enough changing a modem/dial up connection with micro-soggy
software, and I haven't even dared to try getting into the WLAN Inet route
we set up for contests.
