Yes, I use an "Option 'Globetrotter' GPRS Data Card" which also does Tri-band
GSM.
I use it with the 'Orange' network in the UK. I understand that Vodafone also
rebrand this card.
In GSM mode it works as a regular serial modem (with 2.4.x) and I assume the
GPRS part works if you change the number to dial to be the funny #*33 style
one.
Mark.

SonyEricsson/AnyCom GC75 works OK, looks like a serial modem. Triband.

And to be complete, Nokia D211, which has GSM, GPRS and WLAN. Partially
binary-only. Trying to use the WLAN side on the latest RH9 errata kernel for
more than 5 minutes usually crashes the machine, GSM side works just fine.
Unfortunately life is too short to debug proprietary drivers ;)
There's also the older Card Phone which has two versions, 1.0 used
a modified pcmcia serial driver. Hackery probably required to
get it working with modern pcmcia code/kernels. 2.0 is
more or less standard pcmcia serial I believe...
