Thanks for the reply DTC
Actually, Remote Desktop is exactly what I would like to use. Problem
is I don't have an internet connection at the remote site.
What I want to do is place a computer in a location where there is no
other means of internet connection other than the aircard. I can
connect to the internet in that location with my existing PC5740.
Since I already have this card and dataplan I was hoping there was a
way to use it. I can not simply leave it connected because the
connection will eventually time out.
I know I can use a device such as the Airlink's Raven-X which is
basically always on and connected but I was hoping to use what I
already have.
Interestingly, if I dial my aircard's number while it is powered off
the call immediately rolls over to voicemail. If the card is on (not
connected just powered on) the number will ring about 6 times then it
rolls over to voicemail. I was looking for a software solution to
tell the aircard to 'pick-up' an incoming call much like an analog
modem does.
