Hi Steve,
I've taken a look at the site and it looks impressive. I can't find mention
of the cost though. Can you remember, please?
As always, I have other questions. Please help me if you can.
How long does it take to download? (I'm on PAYG currently, hence the
question.)
For those uninitiated, what's "the data access point from your carrier" that
you have to configure; so what do you need to know?
Someone said it would work with Pacmate and BrailleNote. Has anyone tried
it with the latter? The reason I'm asking is that the BN currently works
under Wireless "B", or a mixed mode setting, so I'm wondering if this really
will work.
There are some comments in the FAQ section about various LED's indicating
connections. Is it still possible for us to see easily if a client is still
connected and to ensure we disconnect properly?
Finally, I think I read somewhere that it's an open connection and doesn't
even have WEP. Is this not open to abuse by others, or is the wireless
range too short so that it's not really a problem?
I'm sorry about all the questions, but these things sometimes sound so easy
and then I find I really don't know enough to get started ... so want to get
prepared first.
Thanks for any help.
