Subject: [OS2Wireless] Verizon or Nextel wireless

I want to be able to access the internet from my laptop on the road, using
my wireless provider.  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.

TIA.
