Linux Internet Access with Sprint PCS Phones

Sometime in the future, I'm planning on buying a laptop because I travel so much. I need to carry a mobile office with me, so I can get stuff done. To go along with that, as any geek would point out, I need wireless internet access from anywhere.

The best solution at this point seems to be using Sprint's Unlimited Vision service with a USB data cable. Some of these phones provide an ACM ppp device you can use to dial out and get reasonable wireless access. Another solution seems to be getting a PCS Merlin C201 PCMCIA card.

For anyone else who is interested, here are a collection of links to get you started.

If anyone knows if the Sanyo SCP-8100 works with Linux, I'd like to hear about it.
