Re: gprs, t-mobile edge and verizon data ?

I take that this with either the 

PC 5740 http://dts.vzw.com/index.html?m=Verizon%20Wireless&p=1821 which
claims to support Macintosh with a pcmcia slot.

How does the VZAccess Manager software work?

I wasn't able to download the driver software, is there an NDIS driver
for this card? Do you think it could run under ndiswrapper (on linux)?

or

V620 http://dts.vzw.com/index.html?m=Verizon%20Wireless&p=1821

Unless one is a current verizon customer and I use the term loosely, it
doesn't look like a good option. They aim for a 2yr lockin plus the
"terms of service" pretty much state, "do anything we don't like and we
terminate your service"

>>>
Unlimited NationalAccess/BroadbandAccess services cannot be used (1) for
uploading, downloading or streaming of movies, music or games, (2) with
server devices or with host computer applications, including, but not
limited to, Web camera posts or broadcasts, automatic data feeds, Voice
over IP (VoIP), automated machine-to-machine connections, or
peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing, or (3) as a substitute or backup for
private lines or dedicated data connections.

The current best solution would seem to be smartphone+external
antenna+usb cable to laptop (linux or ibook).

Though, I haven't heard any reports of these folks getting kicked from
verizon evdo

Has anyone here made a stompbox with an EVDO card in it?
