| Meh....
Old news....
Played around with similiar over 2 years ago.....
Using a Linksys Access Point, Setup in a computer carry case the following:
Inspiron 7000 Laptop with PCMCIA Ethernet Card
Sanyo 8100 Phone with Sprint PCS Vision service
Linksys WAP
Small Motercycle Battery.
What I did was plug the Sanyo 8100 Cell phone into the Inspiron 7000 Laptop (that had a battery in both media bay's for about 6 hrs of battery life total) Via USB.
Used the laptop do "dial in" to sprint for aprox 128kbps cellular connection.
Configured laptop to bridge the connection to the ethernet card and act as a DHCP server.
Pluged the WAP into the laptop's Ethernet Card to re-broadcast the signal.
Vala, Done. Wireless Internet wherever I wish using Spring Vision service.
Could either plug it in to car 12v outlet, or i could use a 15 watt solar panel that I like to tinker with to extend the WAP run time. Laptop lasted long enough with 2 batteries.
The Inspiron 7000 was my fav dell modle ^_^
Only real difference is those people use EVDO, so big woop, with my old setup, all that would be needed to change is to pop in a EVDO card into my other PCMCIA slot and.... You get the Idea.

| Just basically would use the internet connection sharing option in Windows XP. It acts as a small dhcp server and will hand out IP addresses through the ethernet card.
I did the same thing while using the neighbors wireless connection. Plugged in my USB adapter, then used internet connection sharing to act as DHCP server. I ran it through a router, and plugged in my Vonage phone. I had free internet for 3 mos until they moved. It was a great setup. I am sure it would have worked better through a distro of Linux, but it suited my needs. |

This is a friendly reminder that connecting other wi-fi networks that you do not have permission to connect to is illegal. |
