[opensuse] EV-DO USB modem (Sprint)

Since Sprint has published a set-up guide for LINUX, I'm considering rewarding their simple acknowledgment of us by giving it a shot...gotta be better than dial-up! In the guide, they state that the maximum connection speed "is limited by the current generic usbserial driver to approximately less than 500kbps.". Can anyone here report on their success with these cards, and if the above limitation is accurate? I am considering the Sierra (USB) Air Card 595U as it has an external antenna connection. (I am 7 miles from a tower, and beyond DSL or cable) Thanks very much, Tom in NM -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
