[AG-TECH] Progress in testing AG 3.2b1 client on MacBook using Sprint wireless broadband card

[R. P. C. Rodgers]

Just  progress report to anyone who might be interested.  With the kind 
help of Todd Zimmerman
at Westgrid, I did more testing today.  Was able to run the client and 
rat to Westgrid using
the Westgrid bridge server, from Maryland, using the Sprint broadband 
card (EVDO-based).
Vic did not start properly, and when started manually from command line, 
issues a message that
suggests that it may be having difficulty in finding the internet 
interface established by the card.
Oddly, the client is not able to connect to the venue server at ANL.  
Use of nmap on the wireless
Mac can not connect to the ANL server either -- I don't think the server 
was down, as I was able
to get to it a bit later via my cable broadband connection.  Some sort 
of routing/peering issue
between Sprint and ANL? Dunno.  More to follow, I hope, if we can lick 
the vic issue.  Has anyone
else experimented with these cards for AG use?

Cheers, Rick Rodgers
