<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-au"><FONT FACE="Calibri">Hey all,</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-au"><FONT FACE="Calibri">I have a customer with a site emergency</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-au"><FONT FACE="Calibri">…</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-au"><FONT FACE="Calibri"> some retarded fellow at Commander Centre put through an order which cut off a customers DSL service (converted it to OnRamp</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-au"><FONT FACE="Calibri">). It is outside Sydney and I am not exactly sure what 3G coverage is there</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-au"><FONT FACE="Calibri">…</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-au"><FONT FACE="Calibri"> I will investigate that later, but I am suspecting NextG or Optus only.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-au"><FONT FACE="Calibri">But that said. Does anyone have any experience using the new Cisco 881 with 3G or a 1841 with</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-au"> <FONT FACE="Calibri">3G WIC card</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-au"><FONT FACE="Calibri">…</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-au"><FONT FACE="Calibri"> and.. what 3G providers have worked or miserably failed.</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-au"><FONT FACE="Calibri">I do know that NextG has massive inbound restrictions, so using it for a temporary mail gateway is not going to work.. too ma</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-au"><FONT FACE="Calibri">ny application gateways or</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-au"> <FONT FACE="Calibri">something…</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-au"><FONT FACE="Calibri"> but in this case the customer would be doing an outbound IPSEC or PPTP (normal Tunnels need source/destination IP</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-au"><FONT FACE="Calibri">’</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-au"><FONT FACE="Calibri">s).</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P DIR=LTR><SPAN LANG="en-au"><FONT FACE="Calibri">Anyone got any thoughts? If I figure this out, I would probably keep the kit in our library for emergency situations like this.</FONT></SPAN></P>
