Only on the mobile phone!  You've not really lived until you navigate the
archives on a 100 character screen the size of a postage stamp.

I have a friend with a spare INMARSAT phone that uplinked their laptop on a
circumnavigation (by tall ship).  It's slow, and expensive, but if anyone's
interested I think it's for sale.  http://www.inmarsat.org/index.cfm

Also for sale, my father has a ridiculous little e-mail console out of a US
tank during the gulf war.  It's even slower, and more expensive... but hey:
milspec! I don't know what network this runs on, but will get details (and
price) if anyone's interested.
