My Father in Law is looking to buy a new laptop for use with the Sprint Broadband Anywhere service. It appears that the cards only work with a PC though. Is there a way to get this service on a Mac? He would like to get a MacBook. Thanks.

It'll never happen on a MacBook as there's no PCMCIA or ExpressCard Slot - only on a MacBookPro when sprint releases an expresscard version.

last gen G4 PB if he wants Mac, or use one of the available power vision phones that tether via PAM {phone as modem] for MacBooking for time being. depending on location, PAM'ing works surprisingly well, and vice-versa.

My phone is a couple years old now, and technically they want you to have a second plan but...
I just use my regular phone with a USB cable. There is a Sprint Modem profile already in OS X. It's not the fastest thing in the world, but...
