I live outside of the area to get cable or DSL, The phone and cable company said that it would be a long time before they ran new lines to where I live. So I purchased a mobile area wide Verizon Wireless broadband card for high speed to use at home since I am within range of their broadband service. I have installed it on my laptop and then connected to a router to provide a network for all of my home computers. It works great! My issue is that I want to install the Verizon PCMCIA type II card on to one of my desktops instead of my laptop to free my laptop from being used as a modem. I'm not sure if this is what it is called, but I think I need a "Desktop PCMCIA & CardBus PC Card Reader." (I just need to be able to install the type II card on my desktop) What is this part called that I need, and where could I possibly find one?
