[Rhodes22-list] Re: Working from the boat - equipment

[brad haslett]

Mark,

Forgive me if you already posted this, but what card
are you using?  My buddy Ken is coming down this
weekend and he's ready to set up a laptop for use from
the lake.  Based on my research, Cingular's system is
nearly identical to Verizon's (Cingular has the best
voice coverage on the lake but not sure about data). 
They are offering the Sierra Wireless 750 card for $50
after rebate with a two year contract. What kind of
speed are you getting?  Did you go for the unlimited
download contract or something of a lesser amount?
Does the use of the amplifier make much of a
difference?

Brad
