Hey people,
I was really getting fustrated that I was going to have to purchase Launch2Net for my new T-Mobile Web'n'Walk card. When I found this site of a foreign T-Mobile company:

Here

There's various drivers to download, but, if you look towards the bottom of the page, theres a tick box, tick it, and software will download.

Its unbranded connection software from Option (the card manufacturer) and lets you use any SIM in the PC Card, because they arent actually locked!!

From what I can gather in the Release Notes, apparently it supports many of the Globetrotter Series of cards, including the new ExpressCard version for MacBook Pro.

Well, hope this helps some people!

Dan.

I am amazed
quite frankly I did not know that T-mobile was supproting Mac plateforum that much.
if you go to SFR (partner of Vodaphone) or Orange (France Telecom) would will not see much about Mac OS support for mobile utilities.

it is only available by t-mobile austria??
I have been looking on t-mobile UK or USA, could not spot it.
I thought it might have been worth a news about it

Hey.
I think its only available from T-Mobile Austria..... I have been looking for something like this for ages. Vodafone uses NovaMedia Mobile High Speed which I dont like, at least here in the UK they do. Orange, 3 and o2 dont support Mac at all.
Regarding posting a news item, I have already emailed the Hardmac team, and they're currently reviewing Launch2Net. May not be good to advertise this free utility when they're going to be praising a commercial product!

yep I know, it is me who replied to your message smile.gif
launch2net works with all mobile, whereas t-mobile solution might be restricted to selected mobiles (those available via t-mobile subscription).
