For those outside of Metricom's coverage areas, NovaTel Wireless
http://www.novatelwireless.com is introducing a CDPD modem specifically
designed for the Pilot. Their Minstrel modem offers TCP/IP data rates up
to 19.2 kbps over analog cellular. Coverage in most US metropolitan areas
is now available. List price is expected to be $ 399. and deliveries are
scheduled to begin in late summer.

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;
The courage to change the things I can;
The weapons that make the difference;
And the wisdom to hide the bodies of the people that got in my way;-)
