Is anyone working on being able to use a cellular data card under eCS?
What is the interest level in Europe for this mode of communication?

What exactly is a "cellular data card"?

Hello Kris,

The card is a PC Card which incorporates a USB controller, a USB modem, and a cell radio.   The computer interacts with it using conventional AT commands like it is a conventional modem, so you would use a dialer like InJoy to tell the modem to dial.

The card uses EVDO technology which, according to one source, is only available in the U.S.:

You can learn more by Googling for "Sierra 5220" and "EVDO"

Have a great day!
