We ordered a modem/router gadget from a company called Mobile Citizen. They sell low-priced wireless Internet access exclusively to non-profits. We got a desktop version (still has wifi built in), not the mobile hotspot described on their web site.
This means we don't have to rely on InfoAge for Internet access in the museum. Also, it is a very good deal: you buy the modem and then only pay ten bucks a month for service.
The hardware arrived recently and we will install it soon.
