Re: Persistent 3G connection fails, not sure why

["Andrew Bird (Sphere Systems)" <ajb spheresystems co uk>]

Hi David,
	So is the harddisk device that complains the storage device on the 3G 
stick itself, or a different device altogether? If it's the same device I'd 
suspect that the 3G stick is resetting itself and momentarily disappearing 
from the system.


Best regards,


Andrew
