Re: Dialer required?

I've done RTT with another client. Better than nothing for mobile use...but I'd agree: Not better by much!

As long as you dont roam into non evdo areas (rtt) you would be satisfied. RTT is worse than dialup.. oh lord

Thanks, joako & rawgerz. Sounds like it would be worth getting one for testing. Sprint has EVDO rev A coverage through pretty much all of the 3 cities where they have remote computers.

Lots of profitable technologies would become practical for them if I could get them to switch from 56K dialup to broadband for their remote computers. Just to be able to use Remote Assistance would save them many times the cost of the broadband connection.

Thanks for your reply.

> If you turn on "Dial another connection first"

CMAK (Connection Manager Administration Kit) doesn't work that way; XP VPN connections include the settings you mention but not CMAK. CMAK is a requirement...we run scripts before the connection, after the connection, and after the disconnect.

In order to work with CMAK, it either needs to be "always on" (and it sounds like that's not the case), or I'd need to be able to connect to the ISP with nothing more than a phone number, username & password, as with a conventional DUN connection. No non-Windows software (whether installed from CD or onboard memory).

Are any of the "few dialup connections in windows" standard XP DUN connections?
Most aircards install a special driver and software but all you really need is the driver & DUN the software is just an extra to show signal strength, and IMO totally useless diagnostics.
