Dale, do you get good cell phone reception out by you? You can get a |
| 36 |
sprint aircard and a linksys router that has a pcmcia adapter in it to |
| 37 |
split the signal. It's not blazing fast but @ 60/month it's way better |
| 38 |
than dialup. BTW, I'm sure you can do it with providers other than |
| 39 |
Sprint but I've only used the Sprint ones. |
