They've been around for years!  What you keep seeing advertised on the telly
is UMTS USB dongles.  They're third generation celullar technology.  Some
are Linux friendly.  Mostly they emulate a serial port connection but some
are proper USB and load firmware from the PC during USB enumeration.  These
are less likely to work under Linux and you often need to strip the firmware
out of the windows drivers to get them to work.

Tomorrow at the GMH.  I won't be there.  Got to be out of town and won't be
back in time.
