Hi, I'm looking to connect a bunch of Macs to the Internet using a 3G GSM network. Mostly MacBooks and MacBook Pros. I imagine the easiest way of getting it right will be to get hold of some USB2 dongles. Does anyone know of any 3G GSM dongles that work with OSX?

As far as I know there are no USB or any other items available to connect Macs to the Internet via cellular (which is a SHAME), however you can set it up via a USB cable to your phone (if it supports this) or even via Bluetooth (again, if your phone supports this) and get online through your phone - RJGill
