Since you are on an ISP and not AOL or Compuserve, it is easy for your
daughter to send mail if she has access to a computer.  Most public
libraries have terminals that you can use for a nominal fee.  She will need
to go to the Mailstart web site which is http://www.mailstart.com and type
in her login and password.  She will then be able to send email using her
regular Internet account.  I did this on a trip through Australia and New
Zealand.

Progress is slow because nothing is ever invented and perfected at the same
time.
