[c-nsp] VZW 4G LTE Interface Card

[chris]

Thanks to all who replied, seems like the more recent experiences people
have had are better. One of our vendors made a very generous offer to let
me have a card and do 30 days of testing before purchasing which is too
good to pass up so we will be giving it a try :)

thanks
chris
