Re: 3G usb modems

Hi all,

sorry for the late drop in but I am hit since 2007-12-17 by more then
300000 spams per day which went a little bit to much for my little AMD
Athlon... and now I get all messages delayed by arround 2 weeks

I'm going to buy a laptop and sign up with a cellphone operator for 3G
internet access. Most of their equipment are USB modems, are these
easily configurable? For net in general, what are the best tools to
monitor and measure traffic?
------------------------- END OF REPLIED MESSAGE -------------------------

Currently I am using two Sierra Wireless 860 cards (PCMCIA) but they are
quiet expensive (389 Euro per card plus 20 Euro for the PCI-PCMCIA adaptor
from DeLock)

I have the need to use 6-8 SIM's in parallel and I am looking for a
cheaper solution as the PCMCIA cards, so USB-GSM-Modems would be perfect.

I was on the website od <http://www.zadako.com/> and found the USB-Modem
"ZADACOM 3G+" which support:

CSD 14.4 and 9.6 kBit/s
GPRS Class 10 (4+2) up to 85.6 kBit/s
EGPRS Class 10 (4+2) up to 236.8 kBit/s
WCDMA (3G/UMTS) DL: up to 384 kBit/s, UL: up to 384 kBit/s
HSDPA DL: up to 1.8 MBit/s, UL: up to 384 kBit/s

where they are already upgrades for the HSDPA to 3.6 and 7.2 MBit/s

The problem is, the UMTS-USB-Modem is more expensive as a PCMCIA-card
plus PCI-PCMCIA-Adaptor...

Any other suggestions?

Note: Because I voyage very much, the protocols GPRS, EDGE (EGPRS),
WCDMA and HSDPA are a requirement for me...
