I do a lot of traveling and need Internet access while on the road. I have both 12” & 15” G4 PowerBook models and just purchased a VerizonWireless PC5740 Broadband Access/ National Access PC Card. I have it installed in my PCMCIA slot on the 15" and it works very well. I get Broadband access in most major cities and up to 4 times dialup elsewhere. I am also trying to install the card on my 12" so am trying to find a USB to PCMCIA card adapter that is compatible. I just found a site for a Roalan U132 adapter. It supports both the KPC650 and V620 cards by Verizon and is supplied with a software driver for Windows 2000/3 and XP but the site doesn't mention support for MAC or the new Verizon PC5740 card. I have e-mailed the company but have not gotten a response from them. The website for the Roalan U132 Adapter is:

Has anyone else come across and solved this problem?
