I thought that 3G was supposed to use PPP, which would (at least at this time) argue for making a serial driver for this device. But I guess sufficient "intelligence" in the device could make it look like anything. > Or something else?

It's something we'd like to see happen over time ... it's just a matter of priorities and effort. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
