Costs a fortune. Coverage isn't bad, but don't expect stellar performance if you're moving around. I've got a Vodafone 3G PCMCIA card through work and it's Linux support is adequate (although documentation is a smidge scarce). If you really need mobile internet access, it's not a bad option, but it doesn't hold a candle to an open access point. <grin> - Matt -- <liw> hut.fi has or used to have two nfs servers not-responding and still-trying... don't know if their dns server was not-found... 4o4 would be then a good name for the web server... endless hours of fun <aj> "did you get a response from 4o4?"
