    When I bought my T61 a year ago, I purchased it with built-in WWAN. How do I use this functionality? I do not see any WWAN device in Device Manager.

    How would I tell if the device is configured for AT&T or Verizon? I understand the networks are different. Can built-in wireless handle either?

    Ideally, I want to take advantage of the Verizon Mobile DayPass for $10/ day to bypass more expensive wireless options in hotels.

    BTW, I use regular Vista Connections Manager rather than ThinkVantage Access Connections.

    Specialista,
    Forgive me but I'm still in the hospital. If you give me the manufacturer of the card I think I'll be able to tell if it's Verizon or not.
