Hi, Jim. I didn't know that. i have always used my ambicom card in my
pcmcia slot. I use an adapter because I feel that using the card in the
back slot, that it wabbles and I could bump it causing problems ti the
slot. I have never had any problems using it in the side slot. Where did
you get your information? Do you get a better signal strength using it in
the back slot?
Thanks.

Hi Reggie,
Do not use the side slot or PCMCIA adapter with your ambicom card. It is
not a good connection for the card. Remember, the card must transmit as
well as receive! It needs a good connection so only put it in the back
slot. My particular PCMCIA adapter doesn't work with my PCMCIA
adapter. Place your ambicom card in the back slot, do a normal reset so
your unit will recognize the card in that slot. Make certain you can
connect onto the web, then try EMAIL. I think your card isn't getting a
good connection with the adapter in side slot or some pins don't
correspond properly.

>Hello everyone:
>I have had my upgrade to 6.11 for 2 weeks, and I am very, very
frustrated. I am running 6.11 on a BT 18 cell. I have read all the
chapters pertaining to email and the internet. We have a cyslink modem
with wireless capabilities. I have the Ambicom card. It has downloaded
some email and I have been to the internet a few times. However, it will
not connect from the room that is right next door to the router. It
connects from our living room fine but if I use it for email I cannot go
then to the web. Standing outside on our back porch it will not
connect. It seems to me that if it connects that it will connect once to
something and then I get cannot find server 10022 or pagerror cannot find
server. I have done numerous resets both with keys held down and not. I
have been in touch with humanware on numerous occasions and now they will
not even talk to me. I just have to leave a message and then they never
call me back. I do have a couple of questions, however.
>1. Does it matter where I place the Ambicom? I have an adaptor or I can
use the back. Humanware felt that possibly it was because I was used the
pcmcia slot so I have not used it since then. However, storage card or
flash what difference does it make?
>2. I have been into the net and gone to the internet menu with enter
and M. I have cleared cookies, history, and, oh yes, I clear database
space all the time. There is only one other thing I can delete and that
is temporary files. However, when I press enter on this option I get the
message "directory is not empty!" AIs my database corrupted or something?
I have the instructions given by Rhonda but since I am not very
computer/braillenote savvy I do not want to do any erasing without being
told exactly what to delete in steps form.
>BTW, I do not have a lot of files on the BN. I have things in my
address list, files for minutes and such that I am secretary for, and a
folder called privacy. This is also the first time I have worked with
email and going on the internet. I have this ocmputer and a card reader
so I didn't need it. However, with the wireless I thought I could
possibly read email before going to sleep or ask for it before leaving to
go somewhere and read it while traveling. However, it is so intermittent
that this is just not feasible. I am really thinking of asking for my
money back! This is getting to me badly. Thanks in advance for any
help. I'm desperate!
