The EEE PC automatically recognises a broadband 3G dongle and prompts to
configure it. I have a Three 3G USB dongle which were ~£40 to buy PAYG
or free with a £10 a month contract. Works very well as long as you are
in a town or city were 3.5G is possible at 3.8MB/s download. Remote
areas will mean going to the top floor and hanging out of the window to
get a 2G GPRS signal :-)
