Status update on this.
it is now August 24th and I've used it for several months very happily.
We have driven from Spokane, Washington, through Northern idaho, then through Missoula Montana, downt through southeast idaho and into Northern utah to Salt Lake City, and back, and had workable signal more than 99% of the time!
Speed varied a lot in those areas, but I was able to get a lot of important work done while my wife drove on that 10 hour long trip.
In Spokane I'm averaging around 150+/- Kbps upstream, and 400 Kbps downstream (as advertised), according to using the dslreports speed test tools.
Not bad, not bad at all...

Works great under Linux (I've only exclusively used this under Linux actually, though I have a test partition to try it under Vista Home Premium (blech!) at some point, though I never truly use Windows anymore).

Anyhow, thought folks would find this useful.
Cheers!
