If I may pose one more question for Frank, Stan and Steve, I just realized, my new work location might be deep within the building hardwalls.
So I might have to get and air card or EVDO, with an external antennae or some kind of amplifier/signal booster/reception. I know with wifi pcmcia cards, not all of them have antennae hookups on them. So is the same true with EVDO air cards, I have to find a EVDO that has the hookups for an external antennae? right?
