thanks trying that now as it seems more stable on connect/disconnect. u think the $30 is worth it for reliable use?

I wouldn't count on reliable use from PDAnet. I use it, and its anything but reliable. It is cheap though, thats why I use it.

It's extremely reliable for me - the only issue I get sometimes is that my computer will decide to disconnect from the wifi network. Reconnecting it brings back the internet. I can use all the ports, do all of my work remotely, etc. It's a great app and worth the $30. I've had it for a few months and it seems to get updated a couple times per month - so it's only getting better, which is nice.

To be honest I had a EVDO Rev A. USB modem from sprint, and it was awesome. Fast and reliable, and I used it with my MBA. I got an iPhone and decided to drop the Sprint modem, and download PDAnet. It does work, but is is not near as reliable as the Sprint modem. That is what I mean about cheap. THe Sprint modem was $60.00 a month, wheras PDAnet is $30.00 total.
I have a Sprint seirra wireless 595U and it's $90/mo. and was thinking of just dropping it for PDAnet. Do you find the Sprint speed to be the same? better?
If its considerably better, I'll install it on the MBA.
