Subject:	SCOUG-Help: Verizon wireless - jumping in

Yesterday I signed up for Verizon Wireless, and got the PCMCIA card, too,
after several discussions with others that seemed to think that I might be
able to get this to work in the same way that Linux (and Mac) users can.

The thought is that once the card was activated in a Windows machine, that
it could be used successfully. The two things that need to happen is that
the eCS machine must see the card as a USB modem, and then I need to set
up a PPP connection.

If there's any interest in helping to get it to work, perhaps this
weekend's Help Desk might be a good locale (it's this weekend, right?)

I'd need someone with a PC Card slot on their machine that has a
relatively recent version of Windows to activate the card, and then we can
move forward from there.

I have 15 days to get it to work correctly, in order to be able to return
it.

I have the offer of some assistance from someone who's familiar with these
cards from the technical side, but is not a programmer. In any case, if
this can be pulled off, I can write it up for use my others.

Any folks game for this?
