RE: Cel Phones (was COMMON at Gaylord Palm, Orlando)

["Carl Galgano" <cgalgano2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi John, I use Eudora POP3 fro email access and leave the messages on our
exchange server UNLESS I delete them on my Treo.  This way I can wade thru
the emails when I am out of the office, and keep the ones I need to have on
my laptop.  It works very well.  We SPAM filter the message on the exchange
server, so the traffic is not too bad and my list server mail goes to a
different email address as well.  One day the SPAM filter was down and I
downloaded about 105 message in less than 5 minutes.  I was pretty impressed
with the speed.

Are you using the iSeries mobile management?  I just connect with the
mochasoft Telnet emulator and use the (small) green screen interface.
Despite the small size, it works well.  I would put the Treo600 on the "must
have" list for doing support.

Carl -

I, too, have the Treo 300 and can't wait for the 600.  For others on the
list, http://www.handspring.com/treo600/index.jhtml provides some details on
the upcoming phone's capabilities.  I'm lucky that my company pays for my
mobile phone and cable internet at home (I telecommute on occasion).  My
boss has already agreed to let me trade up to the 600 when it's released (he
wants one, too).  Do you use BizConn or some other email like Eudora?

Does anyone here use the iSeriess Access for Mobile/Wireless to do systems
management from their phone?

- John

Hi John, I have unlimited data with my SprintPCS vision card and it is
$80/month.  While that may seem like a lot, I was able to drop my $20/month
ISP account so my effective cost is $60/month.  I use it a lot when I am on
the road( a lot), so for me it is worth every penny.  YMMV. I also have a
Treo300 (cant wait for the Treo600 to come out), and use it to access my
AS400s and email when the laptop is not really needed. I havent worried
about hotels and their comm charges in several years. They are obviously
trying to recoop charges they have lost to cell phones and calling cards.
When LD routinely cost .03-.05/min, their charges are robbery.
