More offers each day for wireless internet access using a usb modem
usually from cel phone providers.

1. Can such modem be used with OS/2 based OS? 2. If so, is something
more than usb base com driver required?
3. What are these modems similar to regarding connection: cable-dhcp,
dsl-ppoe, etc
4. If unable directly with OS/2 could a windoze laptop be used to run
the modem
hooked to a router for our fav OS?
5. Are claimed speeds reasonably reliable on such modems?

Can't speak to OS/2 usability, but on a more general level look VERY
closely at
the terms! I had a friend over tonight who uses Verizon with one on
Windows
and even at the lowest data transfer speed and smallest d/l allocation
it was
pretty expensive - at least on a par with my DSL line plus ISP for
nearly ten
times the speed and unlimited transfers. Do the math on your usage
before you
leap into it.

This is a repeated e-mail, I think there have already been a few
responses posted (including mine). Is there a problem with the list server?
