CDPD Goes at 19.2 kbps- so, its relatively slow

>2. how cheap can I get a CDPD modem for my pilot or notebook?

The IBM PC CARD mentioned here awhile back is $79, but who knows about 
drivers.

>3. is this a really good deal?

IF being untethered is important it is.  I've used Ricochet for about 2 
years.  $350 for the modem and $30 a month unlimited service (and its 
about 28.8 speeds)  I can tell you its well worth it.  But for me, the 
value of being untethered is very high.

Worried about Y2K?   You should have bought a Macintosh.
(It also costs less, is twice as fast, and makes you more productive.)
