Made it to Phoenix

I made it to Phoenix.  It was a long trek but I am here and the EVDO is fantastic on a Rev A network under Ubuntu.

Current Speeds: 302 Kbps Down/ 128 Kbps up.  Very good and pretty darn speedy.

Coming to you via EVDO….and LINUX!

Hello all.  I am currently sitting in the airport waiting for my boarding time and I am using EVDO to post this!  On Linux, after applying a Kernel hack, I was able to jump right on with a sudo ifup ppp0.  It’s intresting how far Linux has come.  I bet in the next Ubuntu, I won’t even have to do that hack to make it work (it should be in the 2.6.18 Kernel….using a back port).  When I get a faster connection, I’ll post details….Columbus, OH is still a Rev 0 country and Phoenix is already Rev A.

Current speeds are: 379 Kbps down and 74 Kbps up.  Not bad, but not great.  Got to be a overloaded cell or the airplanes messing with the signal.
