- Been there. I used an external Courier with a Sun workstation
- installed in a Winnebago travelling around the US for several months.
- The Winnie had a cell phone installed with a connection to the
- Courier. Back at the home office, I called the Winnebago regularly
- and logged into the Sun to add new software and perform system
- administration. This was done using HST cellular.
-
- As for the PCMCIA Courier, I have one of those too, but it's
- been a disappointment. It will not go into HST cellular at all.
- There have been no SDL updates for it, and USR support has not
- been helpful.
