CNET Ricochet review (Oct 5, 2000): http://wireless.cnet.com/cgi/crunch/FReview2.asp?ptable=Wireless_Modems&PID=1000080 snip --- The modem blazed through our roving cafe test in San Francisco and was always able to connect to the Ricochet network. Bay Area coverage is highly reliable, delivering service in some places where we couldn't even get a connection on a PCS cell phone. Using our own Bandwidth Meter, CNET Labs tested the modem with a USB interface on a notebook running Windows 98 and found that although the connection dropped to 20 kbps in a few locations, it was always available and generally clocked in between 110 and 140 kbps. This makes Ricochet comparable to an ISDN connection--fast enough to transfer packet video over the Web, albeit with occasional hiccups. --- snip -Chris -- Subcription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with subject of "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" toWear-Hard Mailing List Archive (searchable): http://wearables.blu.org
