Hello.

I'm in need of an USB modem, which I'll only use for sending and 
receiving via SMS and I'm looking for suggestions on which hardware to buy.

In the past I've used some Digicom Wave 
(http://www.digicom.it/digisit/prodotti.nsf/itprodottiidx/UsbWaveGprs), 
through the FTDI driver; however they are all breaking up and are hard 
and costly to replace.

So I tried a Digicom 7.2 HSUPA (shown as "Pirelli 3.5G HSPA Adapter" by 
usbconfig), but had no luck.

Any hint?

  bye & Thanks
	av.
