Hi 9500-nies,
is there a possibility to read the googlemails (POP3 oder IMAP) at the 9500 ?
If yes, pls send me the settings. I tried it without success.
Thank in advance

Only if you can find a Linux version. It would also need to be packaged
correctly to be installed on EEEPC.

Look at fon.com or a mobile plan from boingo.com.

You can probably use Thunderbird or Evolution. If they're not installed,
use the package manager to install them.

1. Try this link http://www.filesaveas.com/psionemulators.html If you can get Wine to run on the eeePC then you should be OK with the ER5 SDK
2. You may be able to get a broadband via mobile phone USB dongle to use on your trip?
3. Try Thunderbird (may be already installed)
4. Most new phones do not use the AT modem commands, which is why Phoneman Pro is no longer supported (

Hopefully other Digestees will be able to help with your 2 and 4 questions.
All the best,
