Acer's Wireless PC Connection ($200) uses 900-MHz spread-spectrum technology to permit notebook users to stray up to 500 ft. from their phone jacks for backyard or poolside computing. Meanwhile, SuperSonic II ($200) from Diamond Multimedia yokes two modems (and two phone lines) together to bring the effective bandwidth up to 112 kbps (kilobits per sec.). If someone calls while you're online, the system just cuts the speed in half until you hang up the phone and then kicks back into full double-barrel...
