For calling. There is also a Linux client =).
Yeah, can't hope to do much better than $0.017/minute Thanks for finding it.
I think that the cheapest thing to do is probably find out how they do things over there with networking (I don't think is much if anything different) and just buy a linksys/netgear or compatible cable/dsl router. Just buy online and ship to her just that simple, you might need to purchase another cable with that cable/dsl router.
Yeah he should be able to mail a package to her without a lot of expense (relatively speaking). Which is probably why he's seeking a used one from. The only gotcha to worry about is will a US DSL/modem work out of the box in England? Or did they pull some sneaky crap like with DVD players or are the phone jacks different. In which case a custom made cable might also need to be made before shipping. As, I suspect Jonathan's wife doesn't have any means of making a custom phone cable. The possible cable issue is the only issue I would suspect is necessary to deal with as she probably already has an adaptor for the wall socket.
I'd be curious to know why the usb-pcmcia option didn't work. Moot that it is. A windows 98 issue?

Except for those 30% import duties - which is why I'm thinking it might be worthwhile to try a used one.
I can get a power supply - standard line voltage there is 240V. - and I think the DSL line standards are the same. They don't use RJ-xx jacks, but adaptors are readily available.

Limited ability to do troubleshooting. Among other things, they're six hours ahead of us, so I have to stay home at noon to catch her when she comes home from work at six.

That's a whole 'nother can of worms, but it didn't work there either
can't you get around the import duties by calling it a gift?
