* Amy Tanner <amy at real-time.com> [011130 15:19]: > What's GPRS and CDPD? GPRS is a feature on new GSM phones. Voicestream does this service. Supposedly 50-100kbit/sec. Uses either bluetooth or a cable (serial cable) to access the 'net'. CDPD is Cellular AMPS based, 19.2kbps. Doesn't use a phone, usually is a device from novatel wireless (novatelwireless.com) Both are generally based on usage. Some CDPD plans are unlimited. Niether are generally by 'time', but by how many bits you pass. -- Scott Dier <dieman at ringworld.org> <sdier at debian.org> http://www.ringworld.org/ #linuxos at irc.openprojects.net So I ran up to him, and the exchange went something like this: Me: Oh my god!
