No.

However, at the beginning of this month, I started using a USB 3G  
modem here in the UK, with my 2003 Aluminium G4 Powerbook, and it is  
great.
The network is "3" (http://www.three.co.uk/personal/products_services_/mobile_broadband_/index.omp 
)

Not elegant, having a USB modem dangling from your laptop, but at  
least it gives me a reasonably fast  internet connection anywhere  
(except ironically, where I am currently working, as it is on the  
middle of nowhere).

The plan is £10/month for 1 Gb data.  I am a pretty intensive user,  
but am still well within that limit.

I wish they had a PC card version, but their argument was that not all  
laptops have a PC card slot, but they all have USB.  Fair point, I  
suppose.
I am not technical enough to know if the Huawei (USB Modem) drivers  
exist for other 3G cards.

When I move (2008) to a MacBook Pro, I will look to moving to a 3G  
card, if I can fin one that can used.
