Choosing a Cellular Router

I am hoping to tap into someone's experience with cellular routers.  We are looking to implement connectivity redundancy for several locations that would need PC and printer network connectivity.  Ideally we would have to find a router that allows you to use a PCMCIA card to VPN back to our network.  Would anyone with experience be able to give me some insight into the type of features to look for and what to avoid.

Thanks for the help.

We were able to set up the Linksys Wireless G Router WRT54G V1.1 to achieve what you are also trying do. We had to disable certain functions on the router (such as the local WiFi and ADSL modem) but out the 4 manufacturers we tried this was the only one that worked consistently (we tried Dlink, Draytek, Asus and Linksys).

Simply drop the PCMIA 3G/3.5G card in the slot, configure it, and off you go! (Yes it was that easy)
