I finally finished my evaluation of the Pepwave Surf OTG. This is a cellular router that also has WiFi as WAN. Or, as I typically think of these Pepwave devices - this is a wifi capture device that ALSO now has cellular modem capabilities. You can find the review on my website here. Just scroll down sligh...

Just heard on tonight's news that verizon customers are going to be charged $2.00 each time they pay their bill online. I guess it's cheaper for them if you mail in a check....go figure.

I have a customer who is having problems receiving the 82 satellite for Bell Express Vu in the S. US. I am looking for anyone who actually have the BEV service, where you are located and whether you can or cannot pick up 82. The type of antenna you are using would also be helpful.

I received a new Asus tablet for Christmas but I am unable to view the forum in the same format as I do on my lap top. Everytime I click onto the forum it forwards me to "active board". Can anyone tell me why?
