Very Computer

Proudly I went home from work today, with a new PC Card from Com1
(MC218) + a Pc card host from Psion, and hoped to make connection to
*space from my S5...but that was not an easy task.

The light on the PC Card adapter blinks as it should when powered, but
when I insert the PC Card, a ticking from something which sounds like a
buzzer from inside the Card host starts....and the green light on the
card host is gone ....

Anyone else out here who have been into the same trouble as I ?
Anyone from Psion here listening? What shall/can I do to get my pc card
work in the Psion PC Card modem adapter ??

regards

 Morton,

I am able to connect using the PC card host and Dacom PC card modem when
using a normal phone line, but I get exactly the same problem as you when I
try to connect through my Nokia 8110. It worked perfectly well with Easyfax
ie before I installed "Message Suite."
If I get a reply from Psion on the problem I'll post it here.

I got a similar problem with a Gold Card Global v34 modem in GSM mode,
which was eventually sorted out after a lot of pressure on my part by
new card firmware.

I understand that the new 56k PsionDacom Goldcards have similar
problems.

Not much I can suggest, unless you have can see if someone else has is
using Com1 modems and can tell you which version of the firmware they
are using.
