[SunRescue] Where can I find the module name ?

[KenHansenn2vip at bellatlantic.net]

I was a beta tester for Omnisky, a provider of wireless Palm V access,
and it was quite nice. Relatively speedy (19.2 Kb/s max.) and pretty
good coverage. The modem was $300, service is about $50/month.
I was able to telnet, access anything on the web, etc.

I dropped the service since I was going to spend that $50/month on
a DSL line ( a great decision, IMHO), but now that Bell Atlantic has
dropped the cost to $40 month for my DSL line, and I am saving the
$30/month I was paying for 128 Kb/s ISDN dial-up *and* Omnisky
is having a sale ($150 rebate after 6 months service for accounts
started before 8/31/00) I find myself reconsidering that decision...

The one bad thing was that I had to remove the Palm V from the
modem to recharge the battery. The modem has it's own set of
batteries that seemed to last a reasonable amount of time (I would
recharge every night, never ran out of juice during light use).

HTH,

Ken
