Right I am sending you this with a Novatel Merlin C201 PCMCIA card on 
the Sprint  Vision (CDMA 2000 1x) network.  I could not get the 
Sierra card to be recognized.  There is a modem script that I think 
that I got off of Sprint's site.  I think that I am going to improve 
it a little when I get a chance.  The Novatel Merlin card seems to 
work without any drivers installed.  I am using 10.2.3 and this might 
be required to do this.

I have also used my Motorola T720 phone with the USB data cable with 
Verizon's CDMA 20001x service.  This has worked a little faster for 
me, but that could just be the particular locations that I have been 
in.

You can shoot me a private E-mail if you need any help getting this 
going, or if it is of general enough interest to the list, we can 
keep a thread going here.
