I have a Dell Axim for which I've purchased (but not installed) a LinkSys
WCF12 card in order to connect to wireless networks in public places like
Starbucks and Borders. I also have an IBM laptop configured for wireless.

However, I don't know what network to use! I don't even know who's available
other than TMobile. Is there anyone else I should consider? Thanks...Jan

Starbucks and Borders both use TMobile, the biggie right now. My father uses
the pay WiFi access at FlyingJ truckstops when traveling cross-country in
his motorhome. There are a few others, just Google around a bit. Of course
the ultimate is to put a WAP in your home and then you can surf in bed or on
the can. As a bonus, the WiFi ActiveSync connection is MUCH FASTER than the
Axims USB connection.
