I, too, am interested in this card.
Here is what David Watson "Dr. Newton" had to say, from a previous post:
--------
Regarding your question, see :
http://talk.smaller.com/Forum1/HTML/002302.html
As I mention in the link, the "Merlin" card in the MP2x00 would be great
CDPD solution. The only concern ( and a big one ) is possible strain /
damage to the MP2x00's internal 5 volt supply.
The higher power consumption is only during transmit ( very brief time ).
As far as I know it hasn't been tried.
Any brave souls out there willing to try it ?
I would but CDPD isn't available here in Kansas City !

David Watson

Subject: NTLK Novatel Wireless Merlin PCMCIA wireless modem
has anyone tried using a novatel merlin pccard wireless modem? i'm
thinking about getting one, and after
looking thru the dox at http://www.novatelwireless.com it looks like the
card reg's itself as a normal modem. therefore i thought hmm this should
work on my newt!!!!
