I had GPS running on my EeePC Xandros but couldn’t get text to speech and that is mostly why I switched to XP.

Hi,
This may seem like a weird question but here goes …
Can the custom version of Xandros O/S be downloaded and installed on a PC other than the eee pc. It seems like the Icon Based apps are very simple to use and would be great for my kids on their basic PC.
Thanks….

Cool. I guess usbserial works correctly in that distro.
Looks like the steps to get connected is pretty much the same as the Sprint Novatel U727 besides entering a user ID, password, and phone number.
All that’s needed for Sprint is dialing #777.
KPPP should make everything much easier.
It was somewhat of a pain getting the U727 working with the OLPC XO.
BTW, here’s a PDF for getting Sprint modems working in Linux:

That’s awesome you got your evdo card to work, i used to think ubuntu/linux was soo complicated but must of the fixes are out there. Some of them are as easy as copy paste in terminal.
