Hey John,
How's it going?
I used my cell phone as a modem (Motorola Razor) when I was at Ft. Hood. It worked pretty good.
I'm sure you're talking about an "air card" or whatever it's called.
If you have a good cell signal it should be alright. I know Cingular put up some new towers on Hwy 149 in 2005, there's one behind Fred's at Hilltop, but I'm not sure what's out your way.
I guess I just wanted to say hello! I'm still in the bad place but will be home this summer...take care!

john, i know quite a few using verizons broadband service. the card itself is like 75 dollars and service is around 50 a month. theyve NEVER had connection problems inside or out, or in a moving vehicle as well. its always lighning fast. i cant comment on cingulars version though. HTH<~~~steve

ive actually been entertaining the idea myself after seeing it work on relatives laptops etc. i also would get a decent price break/combo deal if i switched from my comcast to verizon broadband. let me know youre impressions, ive never seen the cingular in action. <~~~steve
p.s- take the laptop to the store, have them install it as initial setup is a little quirky but troublefree after that first time. also from my experience places like circuit city or best buy have a MUCH more attractive price on the card and plan. the phone stores eat you up wherever they can. i.e- the verizon was 70 dollars cheaper at circuit city for the setup than the verizon store in my case.

Got tubes?
Hmmm...
I had thought about doing this. I may even more now that my wife and I are on verizon.
The cool thing is that we have a Comcast 6MB line at home... we have had it for about 7 months... and Comcast has YET to put it on my bill!
I have no idea how it slipped through, and I didn't do it, but if they choose not to bill me, its their fault. I did all things I was supposed to!
So my reason for saying this is that maybe I could use the money that was dedicated to internet to wireless internet...
But, then again, I don't really travel that much...
Its an interesting thought, at least!
