Now that looks much nicer than the Vodem. That makes a decent alternative to DSL, bring on Rev A to the rest of the country and I'm getting one.

The good thing is that its USB adapter swivels so you can have it in any position on your laptop...

Question, has anyone tried to use a Sierra Card with a Mac? I know you can download the Sierra Wireless Watcher Lite software, which I did, but it just displays 'connecting' for a while then 'disconnecting'.

Any ideas?
