Hi all,

I looked through the archives but didn't find anything on my quest.

I'm looking for advice/tips on using my laptop to connect
_wirelessly_ to the Internet from the laptop in my Westy. This isn't
a question about powering the laptop but instead how to connect
wirelessly to the net.
I've looked around on the Web but haven't found much on what's the
best route to go: cable connection to a cellular? satellite atop the
lugguage rack?
I do lots of  traveling in non-urban areas (Pacific Northwest, Rocky
Mts.) and would love to be able to check my email and upload files to
the net while camped in my van. Ultimate goal:  do my work as a
writer/editor from my Westy and never have to come into town.

Is there any cellular approach that will give me the speed to surf
the Web and upload files? Will I find coverage adequate out in the
wilds? And what equipment have you found most hassle-free?

As for satellite, the only setup I've found (Qualcomm's Globalstar
Tri-mode Satelllite Phone) costs more than $2,000 all told. So that's
way too pricey to be practical.

thanks for any help or URLs!
