Is there a PCMCIA card that will let me connect to the Internet wirelessly from anywhere without carrying a cellphone?
Hello! I am doing a research for my father who travels a lot in U.S. and outside of it.
Is there a device that lets travellers to use his/her laptop/notebook on the Internet anywhere wirelessly without carrying and hooking up devices and cables to a cellular phone. Not everywhere has wireless hotspots to connect to, so cellular phones conenctions would have to be. Cost and Internet speed (e.g., Web surfing, e-mails, etc.) should be decent. The OS is Windows XP Media Center and a Toshiba Satellite Pentium 4 I think.
Currently, GoMadic has a device but it is a hassle to carry the cables, connectors, device, etc. Also, it is easy to break due to a lot of travelling. At least with a PCMCIA card, it is bundled in the laptops/notebooks like those onboard wireless network interfaces for wireless networks.
Thank you in advance. :)
