More On Sharing Internet Connectivity

Followup from a reader on my article Sharing Internet Connectivity - Easy On A Mac.

Hi Steve,

Just read your article on Mobile wireless access through Sprint, and I wanted to be sure about something.

We moved into the country, away from DSL, and so far I've only been able to find satellite internet access that can't even be hooked up until April!

So, you're saying that I can hook up my Macs using Sprint (I'm supposedly in a coverage area)? If so, how is the speed? DSL-Like? And could I hook up my iMac desktop without using the laptop, or would I have to put the Sprint card in the laptop and then use internet sharing with the desktop?

Thanks for your help and your website!
