They don't. It is something I pay for out of my pocket & I take it with me.

I cleaned the truck out Friday night at the Birmingham terminal. I had a ride come down out of Chattanooga & pick me up, took me home for the night & all day Saturday.

Cingular PC Card GPRS-EDGE network.
It isn't the greatest & has dial-up to DSL speeds (depending on where I'm at), but it is much cheaper then paying 5 cents per minute at a internet kiosk & I can connect just about anywhere. Even a Greyhound Bus while it is moving down the highway @ unsafe speeds.

They told me that if I have a signal on my phone, I have a 90% chance of getting the signal with the pc card.

I haven't had any problems logging on as of yet. But I do notice when I'm in a rural area I get dial-up speed & lose connection sometimes. In a metro area I haven't lost a connection & it seems like DSL speeds.

Makes me wonder what will be out on the street in another ten years.
