Skeeve - along with all the other suggestions, we have used the Netcomm
3G wireless router to good effect as a 'office connection in a box'
while we waited for a wired connection to be installed.<br>

This plus a standard 3G expresscard (or USB now as well) dongle that
you would normally use with a laptop worked well.<br>
