Hi list, I have forgotten to think about the situation, that other countries using different and other cell phone regulations. I must say sorry Will. But perhaps you give me a second try, the first one was surely not the right and correct way to answer your question with taking enough care on it

Hi Will, I just commissioned three cellular routers using Alix 6F2 boards (similar in some ways to Soekris, but slower and older), using Novatel EU850D 3G/UMTS cellular cards, with the free firewall OS pfSense 2.0RC3 running on CompactFlash cards. It all seems to work very nicely. The good

Soekris list -- I am interested in the 6501 for use as a cellular router. I know there isn't a sim card interface in the existing 6501 design. Is it possible to use the FPGA to implement the sim card interface? Are the sim card pins on the mini PCI-E routed to the FPGA or some other
