That said, the Airport Base station still has a modem in it, and
that makes life a lot more convenient. (I may not live in rural New
Zealand, but I'm still using a modem. The base station allows all
my systems access to the network, and untethers my powerbook).
But it takes up a LOT of room in the ol' laptop bag!
I think the wiflyer sounds like a brilliant idea - that's the only
travel router I've heard of that has a built-in modem (wiflyer.com).
Too bad Apple doesn't include a modem in a version of the Airport
Express.
But I don't travel enough to make it worthwhile (and of course my
powerbook has a built-in modem for when I'm at my parents', or a
hotel that charges exorbitant rates for a broadband connection).
