Subject: [OS2Wireless] newbie questions

Can someone direct me to some instruction on how to get started?

I've been using OS/2 since v2.0 and am now at ECS v1.2, but I've never attempted wireless networking.

I'm interested both in wifi and cellular connection and have PCI, PCMCIA and USB slots/ports available (though I have neither PCMCIA nor USB drivers loaded).

What hardware is known to work well with ECS; what drivers are needed?

Is anyone using cellular for direct access to the internet?  I've been using my old Qualcomm cellphone as a modem since 1997 but would really like to move up to something faster (14,400 baud is OK for email only, I guess, until my sister just HAS to share that 20Meg photo album while I'm on the road).

Thanks for any help you can give.
