I am going to be beta testing one of them for Metricom, and thus I will have access to one. I would gladly send in any information I had on them if not for this stinking non-disclosure agreement I had to sign.. I am sort of thinking that disclosing if the modem would require special drivers or will just run under the normal modem drivers would be within my rights after signing this, but I'm not really sure ;) TTYL Brad Karp (bkarp@icsi.berkeley.edu) wrote: > 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.
