Art,
Alltel has a 3g plan for forty dollars/unlimited use per month. Ours is  
plugged into a router and all home computers connect through it. The important 
 tech note here is the word "UNLIMITED". No 5Gb limits.

All,

I pass this on as some may find a value here.  I  recently upgraded my 
phone with Verizon, and chose the Palm Pre Plus.  It  provides exceptional 
service for me with one big bonus that has proven out  well.  The MiFi, an 
outstanding "hot spot" unit that you can put into  your shirt pocket, is about 
$65/m, and a better choice than any USB 3G I have  seen.  Better yet is the hot 
spot built into the Palm.  It adds  $30/m, functions within the phone, 
includes unlimited internet from the phone,  and also now includes 5 gigs from 
hot spot internet on a remote net/notebook  with an air card.  It will feed 
up to 5 computers at one time.  If  anyone is Verizon upgrade eligible, I'd 
look at it.  BTW, Sprint's Pre  (not a plus) should have the same capability. 
 

A tidbit related  to Rick's response to the pop-top enclosure, an important 
factor  - the  PTE offers an advantage for ventilation in the cabin if the 
window front and  sides are open to the movement of the air.  At anchor the 
boat falls off  the bow as the wind moves from bow to stern.  The front 
windows of vinyl  material will block the very air you want to circulate into 
the cabin,  defeating the goal in ventilation.  In our cozy craft, this 
ventilation  is crucial.  Just food for  thought.

R,
