    3G PCMCIA service on 2 laptops?

    Hey guys,

    My parents just bought a Novatel 3G PCMCIA card to activate on Cingular's $59.99/month 3G internet service.

    They are going on a 3.5 day train trip from San Diego, CA to Boston, MA to visit my sister, then driving from there to Houston, TX to visit my other sister... (They don't like to fly, much...), then drive back to San Diego.

    They have 2 laptops. Is there anyways that they can both use the internet on both laptops at the same time using just that one PCMCIA card and and sim card?

    Both laptops have built-in wifi, and use Windows XP Pro SP2.
