---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri, 5 Oct 2001 10:45:09 -0400 (EDT) From: Ben Hockenhull <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Sprint PCS Sierra Wireless Sprint PCS is giving away free (I'm sure there's a catch) wireless modems at http://sprintpcs.i33.com/b2bwwmodem/signup.asp. I got mine in the mail just now. It's a CDMA modem of some kind, made by Sierra Wireless, alleged to run at 14.4 kbps. Naturally, I'm interested in getting it running under FreeBSD. I added it to pccard.conf as a modem, following the lead of the Novatel Merlin entry and pccardd coredumps when the card is inserted under 4.4-STABLE. If anyone has any ideas, I'd be interested in hearing them, but this message is mostly informational.
