Ellen,
I just checked Sprint's Webpage and you should have been able to use = your
802.11g to get on line. You just needed to be somewhere, like a = Starbucks,
where you could get an 802.11 signal.

Somebody should come up with a wireless access methodology (for both
laptops AND cellphones) that would let you connect through ANY =
available
network, and let the wireless companies figure out how to pay each =
other
for the use of their networks, just like it works with regular phones.
