Did it work?

Hi Doug,
I guess it worked!

Thanks Edie I will now load up the system and head to the Portal.Doug

hi FIRST MESSAGE FROM THE PORTAL THANKS DOUG

Did what work? I don't see anything.

Hi I loaded an air card onto our laptop system and did a check from the valley and one from the portal signal was strong enough to connect from both locations Thanks Doug

FAN-tastic!

Is that Sprint?? Cingular??

Doh! Can't be sprint, Their network is junk...

Hi It's a sierra air card and on a search I found the card and then checked with Verizon wireless and they offered a new verison mdl vc620 it's made for broadband in the city areas but also has a national access that looks like it finds a local site and will connect with a landline connection. In our area that connection then hooks to a t-1 line so like all the rest of this stuff thats on the market with some trial and error one can get it to work .

I had great help from Verizonwireless tech support. The lady understood what I wanted to do and once we got the signal was able then to bookmark the message board and aol anywhere . Thanks Doug

Wow! Whitney Portal Store has gone High Tech!

From now on, Doug will look like this:


Just so you don't start microwaving those burgers, Doug. <img src="http://www.mt-whitney.info/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="Very Happy" border="0">

Doug,
Any guess on when the webcam might get set up on the new building? That third floor view from the new store will be nice.

And yes, continued burger quality takes priority over all techno-requests. Can't wait to have one in a few weeks...

Hi Spent yesterday hauling the system to the third floor and found short one connector from webcam to computer and in our area will require a trip to a city Thanks Doug
