How to
install Delorme 2006 Plus on Ubuntu Hardy (8.04) Linux and WINE
This
is a link to my procdure on installing Delorme 2006 Plus mapping

Sierra 875 Aircard
and ATT phone service
This
is a link to my possible explanation of the slowness of ATT aircard
service, but no answer as to how to make it work better.
Running DOS programs with serial ports under Windows XP
Run the application under "Compatibility mode" using an earlier Windows version.
Use USB 1.1 USB to serial adapters: available from NetwareBestlinks. Don't use Belkin.
ATT
connect speed isn't nearly as fast as they advertise. It takes longer
to start and connect the Mercury Aircard to the ATT network than
anything else. I would guess it takes several minutes to start the
aircard manager, detect the aircard, and then get ready to connect. The
commericials are a far stretch from reality and ATT should be made to
remove the ads or to make it work as they show.
Using Linux, it
is almost as fast as they show. Plug in the card, make one click and
you're on the air in about 10 seconds using Ubuntu 9.04.
