I have one of those cards (the Aircard 520 IIRC), they don't work anymore, at least the service doesn't seem to be there anymore. If you try to connect the number you dial into just rings and rings. Annoyingly Sprint keeps billing me for the 70 cent per month bill those things had. I think I'm up to like $3 or something. If you try to talk to someone at Sprint to get the bills stopped they all just get confused and tell you they don't know what you're talking about. I'm hoping if I build up a big enough bill someone who knows what's going on will try to call me, or maybe just disconnect me entirely. -- \ |_ _|__ __|_ \ __| Jason Andresen jandrese@mitre.org |\/ | | | / _| Network and Distributed Systems Engineer _| _|___| _| _|_\___| Office: 703-883-7755 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
