Hi Bart,

Have a look at Hutchinson 3Australia's mobile broadband, but you will need
to check to see that you have  3G coverage where you are.

I'm on the basic $29 a month plan, (1.5mb connection, 1 Gb upload/download a
month). Simply plug the dongle into a usb port. My computer is over 7 years
old - a G3 PowerBook 400 OS 10.4.10, 640 meg ram USB 1.1 and the mobile
broad band runs really well. No need for a landline, and apparently Skype &
engin can be run over the internet connection.

Regards,

Michael Hawkins.
