[Web4lib] Networking a Verizon laptop card

[Cary Gordon]

Assuming that your terms of service allow this use, you need a router  
of some sort. If you are using Windows, most flavors have an Internet  
connection sharing option in the network control panel. In Vista, this  
control panel is called the "Network and Sharing Center." This  
essentially turns your laptop into a router.

There are also appliances that have a PCCard slot and act as a  
wireless router. The Linksys WRT54G3G-VN WLS-G router is an example.  
These are not expensive and does not require you to keep one machine  
on location.
