Cellular Internet backup connection

[Ray Payne]

I'm new to the list, by no means am I up on working in Linux (yet).

For about $45 a month I use the Fido unlimited internet access.  (with extra
fees, about $55 a month.)  You can't get a static IP, but you can use DynDNS
if need be.  I don't do this on a Linux box, but I do have it as a backup
for one of my servers in the event of an internet connection failure.  If
you're not moving it anywhere or don't need the ability to text message
(only reason it's on my server, internet is just extra) then a dial up line
is both cheaper and faster than GSM/GPRS.

Subject: [TLUG]: Cellular Internet backup connection


Hello all

Does anyone have any suggestions for a cellular (GSM etc) Internet
connection to be used as a secondary to my main connection? Things like
who (Fido,Rogers,Bell...), how (modems such as wavecom's WMOD2B) and
how-to's?.
A static IP number would be helpful.
