We've been told that you can't make a reliable data connection using a Mac
OS X laptop to an Iridium 9505 satellite phone (not 9505A) dialed into an
ISP.
Has anybody made this combination work? Can you send details if you did?
We have scientists in Sumatra measuring tsunami and earthquake effects.
They are sending text & photo dispatches using a WinCE PDA, custom comms
software, and Iridium; now they want to upload data files from Mac laptops.
To see what we're up to:

Thanks.
