[AusNOG] Cisco 3G WIC with Australian 3G providers?

[Nigel Turner]

All,

The NextG SIMs need to have the Telstra.extranet APN enabled on them and
in use within the Cisco config in order to get a live IP rather than a
(seemingly) many times NATted 10.x.y.z address.

Skeeve - I've had some experiences with the NextG setups on a Cisco 1841
and a couple of the other options. Email me off list if I can be of
assistance.

Kind Regards

Nigel Turner

Wouldn't a business Next3 service not have these limitations, or at 
least, a lot less of them?
