   There was an excellent overview article on this topic a year ago in
the San Francisco Chronicle:

Global Connections: Tips for travelers who need to stay linked to the Net

   The article mentions Internet cafes, which apparently have
proliferated (particularly in Europe) in recent years, as well as
various overseas ISPs.
