Thanks for rubbing it in Bill!
NOTE TO SELF: Ask Bill how is winterazation is coming in a few months while having a cold one on my boat.
Question on the cell modem I seem to recall a thread you had on your setup for access but couldn't find it the other day. Was it on this forum you posted it?
Touche, I'm sure winterizing will be it's usual fun.
I can't recall where I posted it. I should get around to posting it on my own site. Yeah, one MORE thing for the To Do list. Basically I use it two ways. Either straight into the laptop, or plugging into a Linksys WRT54G3G router. The card slides into the router and then I connect it the router from the laptops via WiFi. The router is a bit expensive (~$200) but it completely eliminates the hassle of sharing our the cell connection to multiple computer (mine, my wifes, the one in the boat, neighbors during raft ups, etc). There are new routers out now that can use a USB cell card instead of one based on a PCMCIA card. I prefer the PCMCIA style as my wife has a tendency to break USB connected devices. The PC card is more secure. But your experience may vary, of course.
