ok i know this has been discussed somewhere before i pmed SMW about it he had the same problem i have been searching all day and cant find the solution.
problem: trying out the pc5740 on my dell inspiron 600 however all i get is a noise outta the speaker and the verizon manager not recognizing the card at all. windows recognizes it as a usb connector but i cant get it to work.

any ideas or links would be a great help i am new to the board as well as this new verizon service looks like it would be a goo thing to use if i could get it to work. i would also take suggestion on maybe a differant card i could use. i am a long haul truck driver and need a fast reliable service to comunicate with home.

also i have been using (term used looosely ) the GC83 gprs card from cingular and i have the same problem with that card at the beginning and finally get it to work but now im having problems with it as usual. it seems to be connecting then every 5 mins it disconnects all i get is the connection timed out then i have to take the card out and reinsert it a couple of times then it works again. has anybody useed this card and/or service what is it compared to the verizon service i am trying to use.

again any help would be great i hope i posted in the right section
