As in to access the net from your Laptop's PCMCIA card?

They come in around €300 afaik, and you put whatever sim card you want in yourself. They are quite slow though, something like 25kbps. And that's a small 'b'

...and if the charges are anyhting like what the providers charge for WAP data, that 300 quid would be the cheap part...
