Hi Jackie,
the software is a bit of a pain in that rather than the use of menue's it's a 
page of buttons that you have to click on, quite visual in their nature.  
However, saying that, with TMobile, I just run the software and  just cycle 
down to see whether it has managed to get a connection prior  to using Outlook 
Express or Internet Explorer.

  When you say the software is a bit of a pain David, how do you mean?  I'm 
using JAWS whatever the latest version is with Windows Vista Home Premium on 
the laptop.

  I thought I might get Ian to bring the laptop up to me when I want to use it, 
assuming of course I'll be able to once I've got rid of all the drips and been 
allowed to move.  But not having a clue about these cards at all, figured 
someone here might have tried one, or could suggest any tips.

  If I go for Vodafone, for example, I presume I have to link it to my own 
mobile number to pay for what I use?  Is this something like how it works?  
Told you guys I don't have a clue about it (smiles.)

  Many thanks.

  Jackie

    Hi Jackie,
    I have both used the Vodafone and a Tmobile  pcmcia air card and Ifind the 
use of one, invaluable when I am travelling around the country.  As you might 
well guess, the software that comes with them is not too great but once you 
have got used to doing what you need to do to be able to get connected, they 
are fine.  
    The reason why I swopped to Tmobile is price; I could get unlimited 
downloads from Tmobile for £20 a month and Vodafone said that they could not 
give me the same deal unless I was a new user.  That's the reason why I swopped 
so see what deal you can get out of them.  
    regards

      Hi Gang

      Apologies if this is not the correct name for what I'm looking for in the 
subject of this post, but here goes.

      I want to get a card that plugs into my laptop so that I can send and 
receive Emails or browse the Internet on the move.  Actually, on the move is 
just what I won't be (smile.)  I'm hoping to be able to use my laptop at some 
point when I go into hospital soon for more back surgery.  I'm on the Vodafone 
network, and I know there is such a card that plugs into a laptop.  Has anyone 
used one and, if so, how have you got on with it?

      Thanks for any info anyone has about these and whether they are more 
trouble than they are worth, or even worth buying.  I do have my phone set up 
to send and receive Email, but I don't know if I will be allowed to use it, and 
wondered if a card for my laptop might be another option.

      Jackie
