I work on a golf course and our shop is a trailer and I couldn't tie up the phone line plus it is so slow and I can not stand to wait so what to do. I had heard about these air cards but with the state of linux and wireless I was not sure I could find a working card. Thanks to Kevin Lloyd at Sierra Wireless I have a working connection.
I bought the card at ATT and it is not cheap. The service is 79.99 a month plus some fees bring it to about 90. On the good side it is pretty fast, about DSL speed. If you need one of these connect anywhere cards this is a good one for Linux.
