Des -

Celluar Data Cards for laptops is just another way to get Internet access. EchoLink or QsoNet doesn't care what you use.

You can visit Vodafone here to learn more:

Consider the cellular data service to be similar to "dial-up" service for laptops. However, this service is considerably faster than regular landline dial-up service.

Since this service is a dedicated service, you get an IP addressed assigned to your laptop for the session. That means no adjustment of port assignments for EchoLink.

I use Sprint Cellular Data Service all the time in my vehicle. I have wonderful CQ100 QSOs and EchoLink fun.

Hih Des,

I was just wondering how your research on data cards is going?

Any decisions? Will it work for you?
