    Hey guys, I bought a CF27 runnign windows XP pro. Everything runs perfectly but when I insert my GSM card in the appropriate slot the phone light in the front starts blinking but I do not know how to connect to the internet. Also under XP there is an unidentified device under device manager. Is this the GSM wireless modem not being picked up by XP or is it something else? I cannot find the GSM modem anywhere on the device manager.

    Does anyone have the drivers for it for XP? Please help.

    The GSM modem probably just appears as a serial port.

    Try manually adding a basic 9600 or 19200 baud modem to whatever COM port there is above COM1.

    The GSM board works as a very basic AT-command dial-up modem with a limited speed.
