"I am only speaking from speculation, but I just recently purchased the Sierra Wireless Aircard 860 (Cingular HSDPA/UTMS/EDGE). You can download the AT command set for that card from Sierra Wireless. With this information, I would think you could set up a connection manually with whatever "Terminal" type software or dial-up-networking you have available.

| Hi BWG, I think that if the card itself is recognized (accessible) by eCS, the rest is fairly simple. It reminds me of the article on VOICE about using a mobile phone to connect to the internet by using AT commands via INJoy: The only question is... OS/2|eCs and PCCards/PCMCIA <sigh /> I hate that stuff... HTH (to some extent) |

| Hi again BWG, okay, I've found some information that might be useful. Then, here I've even downloaded stuff from cingular, but there was no glimpse of any "driver" in it so I suppose you might ask the guy from the ThinkPad forum if he can send you (us) the "driver" part or index from the cd that came with the card... so we might take a look if there's something useful (for os/2|eCS) on it. Greetings |

| It's me again, sorry... this one's interesting too: Also, it seems like a there's a USB-type device of that pccard (an external box). It uses the same generic drivers but doesn't appear to be from Cingular/Sierra - unfortunately there's only a PDF about it from a company in Slovakia... too bad. you might however want to try googling for a USB type? Chances are that a USB "modem" is better supported on eCS than any PCCard version. Greetings |

| Thank you for the information. I will check out the links and ask the person at the Thinkpad forum. There is also a forum at the Cingular site. I asked about a card that would work with eComStation. I will return with any results from that posting.

I opened a ticket (#824) on ecomstation.com to tell them about my problem (and I am not the only one to report it) of PCCard/PCMCIA services not working anymore with more than 1GB of RAM. I hope this will have Serenity-Mensys (or IBM ?) do some work on this topic... |
