Another item that may be of interest, I came across a site that gave some info on getting an earlier version of the card (model 210, approx 3-4 years old?) to work under Linux, the author made contact with the developers at Sierra (I'm trying to get that contact address at the moment!) who said the following: "The radio card only needs to have voltages applied to it (there is no communication on the PC Card port for this card, only across the external connector), so all you would need to do to get it working is to enable the appropriate voltages when the card is installed. It needs 5V and 12V. That's it. Once that is completed, then the modem responds to AT commands, and passes whatever control information is needed across the external connector to the radio card." Perhaps this might also apply to the 750 model card?
