I've been looking around a bit at CDPD modems, and am in fact doing so right now, but does anyone have any experience (good or bad) with particular models? What is the rock-bottom lowest cost for a CDPD modem? >Coverage is still CDPD's biggest (and it's BIG) weakness. If I were you, >I'd be looking to use my AMPS phone and modem. A bit pricey, but it >ought to work just about everywhere. That's the problem...It's _too_ pricey. Way too much so. If it comes down to it, I'll sacrifice coverage for cost. Such is the way of the student budget, as I'm already largely in debt for my education and beautiful van.
