Currently, I'm with Nextel, but they tell me "Windows only", and so does the the Motorola website, which makes their PCMCIA card. I may switch to Verizon - 1 person at a Verizon store told me Windows only, another said no proprietary software required. The PCMCIA card I would use under Verizon is an AirPrime 5220. I found some information about the ability to use it under Linux at http://www.ka9q.net/5220.html. Has anyone had any success with wireless internet under OS/2 or eComstation? If not, anyone have any informed opinions as to whether or not I can get this to work under Verizon? I'm willing to make some effort, but don't have a lot of expertise.
