Hey,

So I've emailed [email protected], twice, as most of the people on the forum suggests. Have had no feedback yet, though.

I'm using an E220 (I know, I know, will upgrade to the E367 end of month) on their 2+1 promo (also planning on upgrading to the 10+10 at end of month as well).

I'm using this connection on my Netgear DGN2200M router and for the most part I'm extremely happy. The speeds are great, even with the crappy E220, and latency is reasonable. There are the odd drops in connection for an hour or 2 here and there, but nothing that's a real deal breaker.

My problem is that I cannot seem to create an IPSEC vpn tunnel into my workplace. The same router with same settings, plugged into a dsl line - vpn comes up almost immediately. Go back and use it on 8ta 3G and the connection logs doesn't even show an attempt to start the IPSEC tunnel. I've gotten in contact with Duxbury regarding the router; their Tech reply was that it's not disabled on the router's mobile interface, and that I should rather contact the service provider and find out regarding unrestricted APN's, or to allow this connection for me.

Port forwarding etc works fine (forwarding rdp on non-standard port to my pc with dyndns on router). From what I've read so far, this shouldn't work if the APN is the problem. So I don't know. Other thing is that I connect to my ISP's smtp server on port 2525, and I cannot even establish a telnet session out on that port. I travel a lot with my notebook and want to continue using my ISP's smtp server, instead of changing to smtp.saix.net and whatever other server wherever I'm connected.

I've raised both these points and have had no feedback - anyone else have some info on this?

Other than these 2 points I'm quite happy... it's a good deal :)
