[ale] [semi-OT] CDPD coverage in the ATL?

Does anyone know of any CDPD providers here in Atlanta (specifically
Buckhead)?  More on topic, though, does anyone know how easy it is to
configure a CDPD modem under linux?  I've found a few resources but
I'm wondering if anyone here has done it or is familiar with it.  I've
been looking at the Nortel G100 Wireless PCMCIA card.  Are these the
proper steps for configuring?

a) configure PCMCIA services (it's a desktop computer with a PCMCIA
adapter)

b) configure pppd with the CDPD settings

c) Enjoy the wireless internet?


Also, does anyone know what speeds (travelling) that I can move at and
still get CDPD coverage?  I may drive up to 50 MPH at points in the
city, and I'm wondering what coverage would be like in this regard.


Much thanks in advance to anyone who's familiar with CDPD and can
offer pointers...
