Dave,

I too am using the Novatel Ricochet card, indeed I am using it
as I write this note.  I like it a lot.  I've been a Ricochet
user for several years, long before the service came to San Diego.
Most of my travel has been to WDC or the Bay Area, both of
which have had good coverage for years.

Now, as a victim of Northpoint's demise, I am using Ricochet
(via WWC as a provider) at home while waiting for a new DSL line
to be installed.   If they hadn't started timing out the connections
for lack of activity I might have considered it as my primary
connection.

        Cheers,

                ....Sid
