Usually can avoid that if you go with a CLEC instead of the ILECs.

I am having trouble configuring my Axim to use the new wireless card I got. I have installed the card and it is working great, but I cannot get internet explorer or office to use it. How do you configure the connections in pocket pc to use it?

Start -> Settings \ Connections \ Connections My network card connects to: "The Internet"

Other than that I have no idea.

Hey guys,

I was going to post a new thread, but I opt'd to just seach for a wireless thread...

My question is:
Is the dell wireless modem any good? I want to use it for my Axim..

http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/prod ... u=310-2935

I want to use it out on the field for my job.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike

No, the WiFi card sends a connection request to the wireless access point, the wireless access point then sends this preamble before every packet of data so that the WiFi clients know which data info is for them. The preamble byte is like a little robot before the data the shoves the data along to the correct device. It happens seamlessly, and it happens on EVERY kind of data connection, from Wired LANs, to 56k modems. Here's the data train:
P[DATA] *chugga, chugga ... wooo, wooooo*
P is the preamble moving the Data which is a webpage or a file, anything, to the correct device.

But I have that exact same card built into my Dell laptop. It's a good card, great range. I'd recommend it, ESPECIALLY at that price!

Hmm... I thought 22 mbps was only for 802.11a and not 802.11b.

By the way, the standards don't mention the speed; they're about frequencies and other radio-specific things.
