ION Hub?

I put mine with an old 110 baud acoustical modem out in the garage.

I work with a pair of ex-ION hardware engineers. They have gotten tired of my bantering about this issue...

"Can I do this with it?"

"No."

"Can I do that with it?"

"No."

"What CAN I do with it?"

"Nothing."

Auugh! $100.00 piece of hardware, that can do nothing!

Scayyver

You could do us all a favor by using it like a brick and dropping it on J-Lo's head.

I found a good use for mine...

I use it as a stand for a AC/DC TV in one of the Automotive TV Bags made for a combo TV/VCR... add just enough height, and it has the weight to make it feel stable.

Now if I can hack into the batteries to make it power the TV, and DVD player.. THAT would be cool...

Hmm... interesting. I plan to pick up Phrider's hub shortly for my own personal evil plans...
:P

I shot mine.

It felt great. It helped me get over my Sprint Ion blues.

I've heard of shotgunning modems, but not that literally!

Tsk tsk such anger.... :P

My 3 friends and I all have hubs because I got them to sign up initially. Maybe if we take them to a Sprint Store I can exchange them for a new 3G phone?

yeah let me know how that exchange goes

I haven't changed from regular PCS to vision either, so a free upgrade might be nice

*I haven't upgraded because I have no current use for color and web functions on my fon.

Trade Hub for PCS phones.. .don't push it.

(Though if u are a SPCS customer for 9+ months, you can get a significant discount on a new 3G phone).

How and like what kind of discount?

Call SPCS CS, ask them u been thinking about upgrading phones, and they may give you a credit. Do hurry, offer is limited time and is set to expire @ any time.

No.

You CANNOT use your ION hub to verify if a DSL signal is on a line, in an attempt to doublecheck connectivity.

Also, you CAN open your hub, to find a serial port. From this dumb terminal port, you can concievably program your C50.

W/o any documentation, good luck.

W/ Documentation, you could theoretically program the ION hub to work with other DSL providers, and have an intelligent hub, w/ load balancing and traffic shaping on the customer side.

But why bother?

Maybe you Sprint ION and us DirecTV DSL customers could get together with our useless hardware at a shooting range and have us some target practice.
