Thanks to everyone who replied. Like the poster above, I'd like some
closure to my original concern: Is MediaNet (or MediaWorks) an
unlimited account that can be tethered? If so, what type of cell phone
is required with it? Wouldn't tethering a cell phone be cheaper than
using a PCMCIA card? Thanks again.
