Re: Some questions

The card was expensive, $200 or so. But worth it. I have a high speed
network at my home office where I have a slingbox (www.slingmedia.com)
I use to control and watch television from my DirecTV box in my office
wherever I am on my laptop. Pretty cool device, I don't even keep a TV
in the truck anymore, and no more erecting a satellite dish on the
truck. I usually get a pretty good connection wherever I am with the
aircard. Sometimes not so good, but usually at least good enough to
send/receive email.

I had the laptop open the other day and it seemed to stay connected as
I traveled, same as a cell phone. However I couldn't test the
connection speed because my hands were on the wheel.

I also have a printer/scanner/copier unit in the truck, and have a toll
free phone/fax number via www.gotvmail.com that I use to receive and
catalog faxes mostly. Godd for setting up with new brokers. I use
www.myfax.com for sending faxes via the web from my truck. Good for
returning rate sheets and contracts. It only costs $0.15 per page that
way. Once I had to use a truckstop fax to send 10 pages of a contract
and it cost me $12.00. Myfax.com charges $10.00 a month with 100 free
sent pages and gives you a toll free number as well for receiving
faxes, you get 200 free incoming pages a month.

2. I use cingular wireless for my telephone and internet access. They
have a "Sierra Aircard" that allows you to access the web on your
laptop 24/7 via the cell phone system as opposed to having to find a
truckstop with wireless internet. The cost is $59 per month unlimited.
Sounds expensive, but I can connect in the most remote places you
wouldn't believe. So I am not locked into trying to find a parking
space at FlyingJ or TA in order to connect to the web. If you do use
truckstop wireless it will cost you about $20 per month from TA or FJ.
TA is nice because you can use your RaodKing card to buy minutes
instead of cash, but FJ has more places you can connect from.

I hear you, how much is the actual card do you recall? And has your luck
been good as far as connection speeds and such? Does it seem to work even if
your on the move? Obviously someone else driving..

The cost of $59 unlimited seems reasonable as you said due to the fact that
you don't have to stop at any particular place.

thanks for the help. I would still apprecaite as much input from others and
also anyone else that has used other services.
