There are 3 of us right now trying to share one card and it is a bit aggravating to pass the card around. We have a hub available to use. Is there anyway one computer can act as the "host" for the card and the rest of us can piggy back off of that one computer.
Thanks!

Assuming you are on windows Try This (http://www.evdoinfo.com/Tips/PC_5220/Windows_Sharing_EVDO_2005021759/)
Link also has a howto for OS X and for linux just setup iptables.
They have started to launch EVDO routers but i have never tried it and at this time they are not cheap.

I played with this thing: http://www.junxion.com/product/ and it worked like a charm, no need for any PC to be on, and anyone can connect to it through WiFi :)

Well that is a way cool toy but the $600 price tag is a bit pricey.

You can't put a price on a gadget.

That's a real good solution if you don't have the time/energy to mess with a soekris (http://www.soekris.com/) box.
I wouldn't mind using one of those if I could rig up a little battery pack for it instead of lugging around a power brick though.

Or you could just use Windows Connection Sharing
