I've tried them (Sierra Wireless USB adapters), but never for
production - found the USB connection to be too flimsy for my
applications.

The sierra.c module in the recent 2.6 kernels works quite well.  For
that matter, the PCMCIA cards emulate a USB hub, and both PCMCIA and
USB present a trio of UARTS over that bus (via sierra.c), of which
only the first is really useful right now.  They're reportedly working
on opening up the out-of-band management over one of them to
non-Windows applications.

Support and availability are always real considerations, particularly
if you're building this for someone other than yourself.
