Before Ermine, some USB modems did work: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...ight=usb+modem. However, I think Ermine broke the USB modem support as I remember reading several users lament the loss in functionality.

As for the SIM card, enTourage definitely never had hardware support for it as there's no internal cellular circuitry. External USB modems have their own SIM card in them (I believe). The enTourage knowledgebase article on the SIM card slot indicated there might eventually be some software support (presumably to store contacts, etc.), but nothing ever came of it.
