They have their own ISP or you can do a three-corner deal in which you
keep your own ... at least, that's what I have done with GOL 'lo these
many years. Most of the cards can be configured for some flavor of
Linux or other. Suggest you check the TLUG Archives
(http://www.tlug.jp) for specific setup examples of cards in current
use. Someone just got one of the E-mobile Chinese-made 3.5Mbps cards
running in Debian a week, or so, ago and it is always a hot topic. I'm
still trying to figure out why my Japanese character input in uim-anthy
goes away every time I reboot Kubuntu, so I'm probably not the one to ask.
