tx good points...

this is a stand alone usb modem which connects the computer to the verizon "VZ navigator" inernet access program. It uses Verizon's 'VZ navigator wireless internet" program--so--i can achieve wireless internet accessibility anywhere there is a cellular signal..using any usb 2.0 equiped computer.

Given that I travel alot..this is ideal--since it operates wirelessly- anywhere a cell signal is present...elimnating need for dsl etc service.

The problem is...it is slower on the (P4-d/ P4HT) desktops computs i need to use..

It is as if the modem is not programmed correctly for P4-D/P4 HT chips?? (or-maybe some oither hardware in the respective computers??)

Naturally-Verizon is clueless and blames it on "my computers"!

Suspect Verizon has to come up with a patch to mate the modem more successfully with P4 chips??

Using my Dell Vostro laptop (core2-duo 1.6): the modem works fine (full thruput).

Want to use the desktop P4s--but--cant since their thruput-using this modem-is much lower!
