Hi mate,
no worries about access policy, I'm sorted
About viruses, I'm knowledgeable enough to not get one
The GPRS option was due to the fact that at home I've just upgraded to the BT megaoption (same price as I was paying before £20/month, upped speed to 3mb, fastest it'll go in my area, got a BT hub, bt internet phone, free evening and weekend calls, freeview box with OD stuff, unlimited downloading, and x amount of free minutes to their wireless network) so am wondering if they include the GPRS card or not.
One of our customers has left me one of their laptop where they have a GPRS card working with 3G, which slots in the PCMCIA port, and connects to business everywhere from Orange. Then you open a secure tunnel with another connection and connect to their Intranet (so I can use their Online reporting tool), and the GPRS card has got a little sim card in it, hence my question. I have tried putting it in my work laptop, but would need the software and passwords (they are currently saved on their laptop, so I don't know those) I guess, to use that one with that card!
But if you guys say that a simple wireless network card will do... great! how fast will it go?
