I was all excited about Virgin Mobiles upcoming pay as you go broadband with its usb modem, until I read the requirements...Windows. It appears according to the User Guide, that the usb modem doesn't work on its own, you have to install virgins Windows Broadband2Go software. http://web.virginmobileusa.com/broadband Assuming this works in Windows in Parallels, can you share that internet connection back to your Mac side?
