What about latency?  I tried it and we were consistenly seeing about 600ms 
latency, bandwidth was ok but the latency was a killer.

We're using GPRS (Sprint) for all engineers in the field and at many
clients, and have no complaints within the coverage area.
We had better luck with the Novatel Merlin wirelss cards than with the
Sierra Wireless cards.
We have more than enough pipe to run in a Citrix session - and the
80.00/month unlimited plan is great for engineers who are constantly
downloading stuff outside of Citrix.

The ICA connection need approximately 20-30KB, so the 56KB will work fine, I
have heard 13-15KB in a GPRS test environment, any comment.
