[OKDXA] Access to packet spots

[K5TT]

If you guys are looking at this at home, you may want
to search for the 
wireless card router on google.  It is about $200,
pricey.  The card plugs 
into it to give the same router service as with other
internet services 
(they say).  The cell companies do not have routers
but may tell you where 
to get one.  I find the bottom line cost is a little
higher.  I tried it out 
mobile and had a continuous connection, although
sometimes slow, all the way 
from OKC to San Angelo, TX.  That is some wide open
spaces, ha.
