The *existing* GS radios are external boxes with a dual USB/serial port for host connectivity. I believe Ben is talking about the *new*, as-yet-unreleased PC-Card Ricochet radios. Sierra Wireless and Novatel Wireless have announced they will ship these in 1Q01, if I recall correctly. Moreover, the external Ricochet 128K radios work reasonably well with USB, after some patches I submitted for umodem.c's former abuse of the tty layer buffering model. Alas, I don't know how the new PC-Card radios will appear (as plain-jane modems or devices requiring a custom driver). -Brad, bkarp@icsi.berkeley.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
