Looking at it again, it would need a USB modem as well, to house the SIM
and actually make the connection. I'd rather avoid that complexity for the
user in question.

I'm really glad to hear of someone using one, because I saw that too and
thought it might be good. They've got WiFi already, so they could plug it
into that.

I don't suppose you know if that unit gets used much, or if UCC would be
willing to lend it to me for a few days for some testing? The signal from
the place in question is good enough on my phone so I figure it'll be fine,
but I'd rather not just take a punt with someone else's money if I can test
first (:

Greg.
