Re: [PLUG] Wireless internet

["Philip M. Ravenscroft" <philip@axel.infosculpture.com>]

I have Sprint PCS with the wireless Web.  I have a connector that attaches
to my phone and to the port in the back of my computer and I can access
the Internet from wherever that way.  A little pricey (being online eats
up my minutes), but useful when you need it.  There's also a little
mini-browser in my phone (a Motorola).

Drawback is that you use a little Sprint application to dial the phone
that runs only on Windows-- one of ther reasons that my Linux laptop is
dual-boot!
