I have been using an Ericsson GSM with the Ericsson DC23 Card for a
while without problems (doesn't work right now because of the missing
sio support in -current pccard/pcic).  As long as you get a "real"
pcmcia GSM-modem then you should be ok -- most modern implementations
use a software based solution that wont work with FreeBSD, though.

I am about to buy a new Dual Band, and I've been looking at the Nokia
6150; so I am investigating wether some of the thirdparty pcmcia vendors
have products that would run with FreeBSD:

- anybody tried the products from PSION?
