Internet Access via Cell Phone HOWTO

Posted by michael on from the hints-from-heloise dept.

Nate Carlson writes "I've been searching for a decently fast, inexpensive wireless 'net access solution. It's finally here! Sprint recently cut their PCS Vision pricing so that US$40/mo gets you unlimited data and 300 voice minutes to boot. I've written up a document on how to get this working with Linux - it works great, and averages 7-12kbytes/sec download speed. All I can say is, wow!"

    But then I read the TOS:

    Sprint PCS Vision enabled devices can not be used as substitutes for private lines or frame relay connections.

    Damn... better call the phone company and tell them not to turn off my T3.
