| If
you are planning to bring your laptop or PDA with you to Edinburgh
and want to keep in touch with email or access the web, our centrally
located apartment provides FREE, unlimited, high speed Broadband
Internet Access.
The apartment uses the
most popular standard for wireless networks worldwide - 802.11b
technology, also known as "Wi-Fi". It's standard in most
new laptops which are promoted with the Centrino logo, and in Apple
portables containing an "Airport". You can also access
the wireless Internet connection by using a PC Card adaptor in your
laptop.
In addition, we've provided
a wired Ethernet socket for users who prefer to use a cabled network
connection.
Both methods of connection
are connected to a dedicated 512kbps ADSL line, which provides a
permanently "ON" link to the Internet
The use of the network
is totally free for anyone staying in the apartment. There are no
passwords, log-in requirements or usage limits - simply connect
and use it.
The Internet connection
can also be used for international Voice over IP telephone services,
such as Net2Phone,
Skype or Go2Call.
If you sign up to these in advance and bring a PC headset with you,
they will allow you to use your laptop for low cost international
phone calls. For more information on how to make phone calls over
the Internet, click here

The wireless access equipment
is fully Wi-Fi certified to provide the optimum compatibility.
