Thanks, peppyy. I now have the new 3G datacard and am using it. I have it plugged into my laptop without an external antenna which isn't ideal for reception. In spite of that, I'm currently getting 348kb/s in the download direction. That's quite a bit better than the ~40kbp/s I was getting with dialup. Potentially, I can get 384 kb/s which is max for normal 3G. The reason I went this route is that I'm in rural Sweden with no possibility of getting ADSL. Luckily, a 3G mast popped up some months back about 1.5km (~3miles) from here giving me this breakpeppyy wrote: Pakt, this 3G network sounds interesting. I wish they had something like that for my dad to get connected to. He suffers the intermitent dialup blues where he lives and is lucky to connect at all. I had to get him an external modem to get online since the line quality is so bad. At times his fax dosn't work correctly even. I am working on getting him a longer range wireless card so he can find some connections with his puptop in town.
Good luck with the network.

I also bought a Linksys WRT54G3G wireless router. This has a PCMCIA slot for the 3G datacard and will allow me to share the 3G connection with my home network. (It also runs Linux
