     I'm in a medium size city in SW Missouri (multiple carriers
     available).
     Other usage will be along interstates in eastern U.S.

Consider to use almost any Android (and not only) cell for this.
The hotspot function works also between USB and the cell networks.
Check with your cell provider about the cost when you will travel
and connect to another provider (roaming).

About Debian you can find some info here
https://wiki.debian.org/Android_Tethering

More on request from my local LUG.

Thanks for the link.
I should have made it clearer that using a "smart" phone is not
acceptable.

You mean this kind of thing, don't you?

Quoting myself:
  "Where might I find info on what works cleanly with Debian."
                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^!

Visiting vendorS' websites and brick-n-mortar locationS I can find many references to using with Windows(tm) &/or Apple(tm). I'm much more interested in using with *DEBIAN*!
