I've got a weird problem here with a Motorola CELLect 1+ GSM card. If I use
it with a PC notebook or my Newton, it works OK. If I put it in my
PowerBook, and run a terminal program such as Black Night, it seems to lock
up the machine when I send characters to the modem. If I type "AT" and wait
for maybe 3-4 minutes, "AT" will eventually be echoed onscreen, but it takes
an eternity - during which time the machine is TOTALLY frozen except for the
mouse pointer. Really bizarre.

My GSM900/1800 handset is a cd928. My GSM1900 handset is a Select 3000e.

Anyone using this card in a PowerBook 1400?

(BTW: If anyone who's been in NY can tell me whether Omnipoint allows
international roamers to use their cellular data services, that would be a
great bonus).
