id suggest HSCSD instead - its cheaper still and works even faster! GPRS
rarely goes over 28kbps at all - its all just marketing bull from the
teleco's: they even invented the fancy "2.5G" denomination of this GSM
upgrade. havent heard of any GPRS/newton implementations yet.

nope. not what i can remember...

send a note to mailto:smartdog_at_smartdogsw.com and tell them to speed up the
IrComm dev. otherwise i dont know of anyone who is woking on it, sorry. if
youre looking for GPRS connectivity, i guess it must be Ir.

bluetooth? i guess we can forget it.
