AirCard 300
The award-winning AirCard 300 is the industry's first true Type II wireless PC Card for mobile devices supporting Windows CE, 95, 98, 2000, Pocket PC and NT. With the lowest battery drain compared to all CDPD PC cards, it is also the first and only wireless wide area network interface card (NIC) for notebooks using Windows 95, 98, 2000, Pocket PC and NT. With the network interface there's no concept of dial-up. Every time the notebook is turned on, it automatically registers on the wireless network and stays connected in "always on" mode for access to Internet / Intranet, corporate email and databases, and stock information.
