[ale] iphone tether?

[Richard Bronosky]

Speaking of the USB laptop connect cards... I think that you ought to
be able to buy a card on eBay and use your phone's SIM card in it. You
will have to choose when getting online with the computer is more
important than your phone. I think that if you only expect to get
online to fight the occational "find the nearest Krystal (free WiFi)"
emergency, it's the best way to go.

Does anyone here have one of those cards? I'd love to confirm this.
