I've had both PCMCIA cards and USB. Currently using a Compass 597 USB device. You'll just want to make sure whatever you get is supported by the u3g driver. As an observation, the PCMCIA devices are USB controllers with the USB modem embedded, so going with a USB device saves a layer and is cheaper to boot. -- Thanks, Josh Paetzel FreeBSD -- The power to serve
