GL: AIR CARDS

[Bob DeGroot]

Charlie,
We use the at&t Sierra wireless card (http://www.sierrawireless.com/). Look
at the speed of the card (1/2 meg versus 3 meg or 8 meg). We also have a
digital antenna "Powermax" booster amp (http://www.digitalantenna.com/) to
give us greater range. 

Look at the coverage areas for the carrier you plan to use and the band
width of the card and that pretty much tells the story.

Bob

Is there a consensus on the best air card service/cost.  ATT vs  Verizon?   
I'm heading north from the Keys to Green Bay, WI via the  Erie Canal.  Last
fall, on the trip down, local wireless was hit or  miss. 
Excuse me if this subject has been worked over for months but I have  not
Great Loop site for months and I couldn't find it in the  archives.
