Well, since the rx1715 only has a SD slot (SDIO though), your options seems to be either an SD
802.11b card or a combination SD Memory/802.11b card or a Bluetooth (BT) SD card with a BT enabled
cell phone. I can't speak to using BT however.

Using an 802.11b solution you could access public WiFi hotspots in bars (my personal favorite),
hotels (if equipped with WiFi access), restaurants, etc. More than likely they would be free, but be
aware some might charge for access...probably a nominal fee...

Here are some choices...there may be others...

Note that I have not personally used any of those cards, so as always YMMV...
