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.
