The T-mobile "hot-spot" service is the way to go - Just about every
Starbucks and Borders Books has one.  If you park close enough you don't
even have to get out of the car. I have used the service for the last 2
years and it works great. Since my mobile phone service is with them, it
only costs $19.95 for unlimited connect time. I am able to connect to my
company VPN and work from about about anywhere I travel @ 11mps. You just
have to avoid the "liquid crack"!!!!
