    That error is probably there as an introduction to what the service will be like when you sign up.

    The 3G card connects to a PCMCIA slot on laptops. The modem connects to a USB port on either laptop ir desktop. They both perform the same function.

    Sorry if this is a dumb question but does this mean that you can buy either the USB 3G modem or the 3G datacard. If so, which would be the best for me to get? I have a laptop with a slot called "Express Card /34". Is that for the 3G card.

    USB doesn't seem to work under Linux, unlike the PC card. This is a little strange, considering the PC card shows up as a USB hub with three connected serial ports.
