Re: Hughes customer service and other options

Can you use an air card with a normal desktop pc? I'm having a hard time deciding if I should shell out for something else (if I can find something that works decent) or just bend over and take it in the shorts.

I asked the same question online, here is what I was told.

Here is an adapter to use a PC Card on a PC. I'd recommend USB so you can situate where the antenna is without spending $200+ for an external antenna kit. »www.quatech.com/public/googpcdri···dsSearch
Of course, there are many others. That's just the first result I came by.

Thanks. I'll check out the link. I know I'll probably need a booster of some sort as I'm a few miles outside of sprint's evdo coverage area. Again my thanks. I'll do some research and see what I find out. Even if it's not good enough to serve out pages from my linux box at least I may get a strong enough signal to make on call a little easier.
