1A: Introducing the PCS Connection Card 9
A Network Card and a Phone
During PCS Vision connections, the PCS Connection Card is a true
network card, functioning just like the network cards familiar to most
corporate computer users. Once installed and configured, the card
connects instantly to the CDMA network with a few mouse clicks. You can
just insert the card, click a few buttons, launch your Internet browser,
and you’re ready to surf the Web.
You can also connect a headset to the card and use it as a phone.
