Hi,
The Sierra ones seem to work ok, but I have used Ovation units in the
past as well. I dont know much behind the technology, but I get the
sense that some cards will work better with some carriers than others.
So if your local carrier / telco sells Ovation units, get those. If they
sell Sierra, get those. Obviously, supported frequency is a big thing,
but generally they just work. The nice thing about the Sierra ones is
they provide a bit more diagnostic info. Signal strength etc.
One small challenge I often run into is that the manufactures will make
new versions of the devices and their USB ids will change. Even though
the model# is the same, they present differently. Oh, and serial ports
too. Some units will be cuaU0.0 others might be cuaU0.3. There doesnt
seem to be any rhyme or reason sometimes....
