Dale, do you get good cell phone reception out by you?  You can get a
sprint aircard and a linksys router that has a pcmcia adapter in it to
split the signal.  It's not blazing fast but @ 60/month it's way better
than dialup.  BTW, I'm sure you can do it with providers other than
Sprint but I've only used the Sprint ones.
