Those of you who may have a Novatel Merlin may know already that it works beautifully under FreeBSD, but may be a tad jealous of Windows users of Merlin that get the little GUI window with signal strength and status information and the like. I have started to work with the Novatel MSCI spec in the hopes of making such a thing for Unix users of Sage, Merlin and other Novatel wireless CDPD products. Already I have a simple app that does a single poll for status. You can take a look at the source code at http://www.freebsd.org/~nsayer/ (look down for the Merlin section). It is conceivable that someone could take this basic code and make a Windowmaker or KDE dockable app with a signal strength and BLER meter in it, for example. My knowledge of X programming is essentially nil. My own goal is to see if I can make a top-like curses app out of the thing eventually.
