How are you getting connected in class? I'd love to take my own laptop to work, but I'd have to steal wi fi from some anonymous internet provider. I hear that Verizon can provide wireless connection, but according to Tradestation, using that kind of connection is not advised for trading their platform. And I don't want to use my employer's LAN directly, as I'm sure my employer would frown on that  I'd love some ideas on how I can trade at work, and it would start with being able to connect away from home. Thanks!

Yea, we've got WIFI in our business building so i've just used that before. I think tradestation frowns upon using WIFI in general for a connection, but I've been trading everyday for over a year now on a wireless connection from my laptop and a wireless linksys router in my house with no issues.
I've also looked into doing the whole Version/Sprint wireless internet options but i've yet to really have a need for them. (One of my dreams is to buy a boat in san diego to live aboard and trade from the boat, but until i do that, i don't need the wireless cards).
I'm sorry i'm not a lot of help. If I were you, i'd try and use your employers LAN (if it doesn't take up your time at work - whats the harm?), and if not try the verzion/sprint options. I'd feel better about going with them than an anonymous internet connection.
