Bringing communications equipment into Australia
One of the guys on the SLUG (Sydney LUG) mailing list, found info that should answer some questions about using the Neo 1973 in Australia. I am not an expert, but my take on this is that as long as the GSM modem is to international standards, then there is no problem. The fact that there is a phone built around it shouldn't matter. I can buy an RS232 attachable GSM modem and plug it into a Linux box to give me basically the same thing. Email copied below: Gents, ACMA is the Australian Regulator.

GPS time synch
Would it be possible to keep the Neo's internal clock accurate using time stamps from GPS information? I know GPS provides that information for some output formats and that it wouldn't be the stratum 0 accuracy that you get from more expensive hardware.
