If I lived in a Ricochet area, I'd almost surely choose that option.
It's the fastest and I hear it's getting faster.
But for wireless CDPD, which is what I use with my Palm organizer (I
have a Minstrel III CDPD modem), I'd recommend products by Novatel
Wireless (http://www.novatelwireless.com). Their products are
generally not specifically listed as Mac compatible, but if you
contact their tech support you may find that they have instructions
for setting up a Mac to use one of their modems. They had such
instructions for their Sage modem and maybe they'll come up with
instructions for their new PC card CDPD modem.
GoAmerica.net is a great service provider for the actual service.
I'm a happy customer. :-)
Good luck!
