I have a Sprint EVDO card that under XP gets about 1Meg download on the Web100NDT test sites. So, where would I look to see what you, Mark, or Steve did to attempt to get these things working? I might give it a try given some pointers as to what they did. Sure looked like a bunch of device drivers got installed under XP when I plugged the card in for the 1st time.... and I guess perhaps the Sprint connection manager would have to run under some flavor of Odin?

Thanks,

Hello Al,

Over the next day or so I will collect the information I have and report back.  Also, you and I are only a few minutes apart, so we could get together to work the bugs out.  (I saw one of your Amphicars on Dove Road about 3 weeks ago.)  I've been wanting to write an article for OS2Voice, but it keeps getting pushed down my list.
