Just want to clarify that the hardware you mention is at your house? What hardware do you carry on the boat/RV?

I carried an old Emachine laptop and my now obsolescent Motorola V325I cell phone with a USB cable. Gave me a 15.4" "TV" screen. used it last in July this year for two weeks and it worked great.
I now have a new Sony 16 X 9 aspect ratio/screen Viao laptop and my "new on two" Verizon choice comes up on the 28th of this month. Either it will be an LG Chocolate 3 VX-8560 or an LG enV2 VX-9100. Both can be tethered to the laptop with Verizon Access Manager software for National Access unlimited internet.
For me, it's far more cost effective at this time to use a tethered phone. One call to Verizon will add National Access as a "feature" to my family share plan, and I can call back and cancel the "feature" at any time, paying only the prorated $60 fee for the month or less that we really need it.
Both laptops have wireless built in and I was able to connect via a State Park wireless ATT hot spot in Henry Cowell SP up near Santa Cruz. Far better choice since there's a 5 gig limit per day on Verizon
