I don't know if that unit is still marketed, nor do I know how readily available the drivers may be. As for the cards themselves, while the promise of "broadband" performance (I am purposely avoiding the use of the "speed" misnomer) is rather overrated, I would suggest that you look at the carrier you will be using and then narrow your search for the hardware from there (assuming you already have a carrier in mind). Oh, and I understand that Sprint's big "4G" push is currently voice-only in most markets and not applicable to data (and of course, I do not know what hardware works on that technology which may or may not be OS/2 compatible). Sorry I can't provide more help, but perhaps someone else will step up to chime in his or her two cents. :-) Cheers/2 -- Lewis ------------------------------------------------------------- Lewis G Rosenthal, CNA, CLP, CLE Rosenthal & Rosenthal, LLC www.2rosenthals.com Need a managed Wi-Fi hotspot? www.hautspot.com Secure, stable, operating system www.ecomstation.com -------------------------------------------------------------
