Popped into the VodaShop today and kind tech guy was good enough to burn me a CD with the latest version of this software.

Did an install on the DELL D830 and pretty happy. Better than the bundled DELL Connection Manager -- BUT -- still NO MMS and email ? It is also not the prettiest or most professional looking software IMHO. Just takes info strings from MS in the backgound and repackages them. Lazy mans way !

Still from now on looks like it's goodbye DELLicious and EHLO VODAphloe

Here is the killer app -- WHERE is the person building it ? Maybe just needs some stuff bolted onto MS Outlook -- or a look alike clone.

PS ; Anyone know how to get hold of the Senior Technical manager at DELL SA ? Still working on the broadband Novatel GPS story. Anyone know much about WAAS ? I am beginning to think that the GPS & SATELLITE is a bit of a con. I think that the DELL GPS is actually terrestrial (with the kind help of their towers and Intelligent backbone?)

Anyone know how this actually works ?

I am really waiting to crack open a nice ice cold frostie -- but I am waiting for somone to really tell me something I need to know :D ( Like explaining to me that I need to connect with IMAP and NOT POP3. What does it actually say on the site :confused: ) pop3.vodamail.co.za / or imap4.vodamail.co.za ( SAME Server :) -- Different PORTS )

Vmc-9 A-gps

Looks like I spoke too soon -- VMC is OFF again -- no real support for embedded devices -- wants USB -- My machine wants SERIAL....so sorry:D

CELLULAR GPS -- aahh yes WAAS and all that

Assisted GPS ..... A-GPS (AGPS) and eGPS. Look it up -- quite interesting -- as is E911 and E112

"Slowly , bit by bit , he assembled the pieces. Not sure what he would find , when the outlines of the puzzle would start to take shape. But he knew that the journey had begun and there was no way of turning back now" :D

I am still having to think about drinking alone , alone .........alone :D


( Is there nobody interested in this stuff :confused: )

Keep getting 'internet explorer has stopped working'. easily reconnect but a hassle. Using VMC 9.2 and Vista

Any suggestions

Sorry but IMHO seem to think that all that that does is push MSIE into the background -- rather than get rid of it :mad: All it's nefarious components still work in the background even if you do NOT use them.

If you REALLY want to get rid of it you need to do a special "slipstream" compilation and install of of that.

Have a look at Fred Vorck and HFSLIP or NLITE and LITEPC -- and maybe others that allow the unbundling of MSIE.

YES thank you -- BUT -- does it support embedded devices ? specifically the NOVATEL PCI Express Mini cards ? Which stipulate a connection to a legacy Serial Port Three ( or Four ) but are enumerated in the registry under USB - VERY strange :confused:

I did point out to GINGS that Novatel have an SDK and development hardware kit -- shown on a webpage on their site -- very interesting stuff too.

Here is some more stuff on WWAN mini cards and GPS

DELL & NOVATEL & GPS

As always -- at the mercy of the Techno-Illuminati -- the TECHNORATI

PS: install Linux if you really want to get rid of Intranet Exploder completely as per your post:

No support for Novatel devices as yet.

Modems generally are serial devices, so would get assigned a COM port.
PCI Express Mini and ExpressCard interfaces contain a PCI Express 1x connection and a USB 2.0 connection. High speed cards like FireWire 1394B and Gigabit Ethernet cards use the PCI Express 1x connection, but low speed devices like 3G/HSDPA cards use the USB 2.0 connection.

After some extensive searching through MidnightWizard's posts, it seems a link-less message was left for you in the ether of the General Hardware & Software forum:

Hey, nice tip ... enabled in registry & rebooted (on Dell 630C with Vista SP1) ... viola working GPS. Never knew the Dell 5520/Novatel UX870 had a GPS receiver on it.
