Love the Mac > Activating OSX Remote assistance via an IM chat

http://ask.metafilter.com [Ask MetaFilter | Community Weblog] I'd write an AppleScript that looks up the remote IP and pastes it into the iChat window. I'm not sure if ARD has a protocol handler, but if it does you could wrap the IP in that and it'd be one-click for you.

The service for the EVDO card ranges from $50 to $80 month, corporations often have employee deals, so if you can get it through where you work, you might hit the $50/month range.

The Open and Save dialogs are particularly bad if they default to a location on the local iDisk, because the column view that displays the files and folders includes the alias folders at the root of the local iDisk.

Evdoinfo.com[Evdoinfo.com] Mac EVDO - EVDOinfo.com: We have created steps (very technical: Novatel V620, KPC650, AC580) to follow to get the other EVDO cards working, BUT you will not see the above in your menu bar, the cards will connect, but you will NOT know if how strong the signal is, if you are in a EVDO or non-EVDO area, and you will not be able to update the PRL of the card (needed to see new EVDO towers). If you are only going to be using your EVDO card in a few areas and you happen to KNOW that there is great EVDO coverage, seeing the above in your menu bar, may not be too important.
