Hi Ed, Peter, That's the board that I discarded as it was incompatible with eCS, unless replacing all the onboard features (LAN/NIC/VIDEO) with PCI-cards - it's back in its original box, in the cupboard!

Using Telstra's 3G service with my Motorola RAZR V3x best I can get from Telstra is 2G (CDMA!), when I can get a signal! From some locations, after NextG was introduced, it used to say "Call FAILED", as soon as I it dialled a stored local number and reached "0755" - my prefix here - even for my home landline 2 km from where I was calling from! I'm just waiting for OPTUS to introduce their capped plan for Wireless Broadband and Mobile (like the current OPTUS Fusion plan), which should be available in the near future, at which time - having already experienced the 7.2 mbps on an EeePC 1000H, using a USB-KEY-wireless-modem, and been delighted with the performance here compared to my 8mbps service on ADSL TwoPlus from Internode (throttled to 3 mbps by Telstra RIM), I'll give up the landline (Telstra), and the Telstra Mobile, and Internode, with the combined total accounts on OPTUS being significantly less than the individual items!
