Peter Pan:

I know better than to leave out the details. Sorry.

It's a new XP Panasonic system w/ both USB and serial ports. The phone is
the Iridium 9505 Motorola (I still don't think I'll ever recover my losses
w/ Motorola stock after last year.) combo w/ docking station.

Thanks for URL. It does have some good sales info but what I'm looking for
here is user experience and insights on installation pit falls.

Cheers,
Bob

A friend and I are hoping to attempt to set up his SAT Nav phone on
his boat by our own selves. He wants it connected to his PC so he can
send photo's back home as he cruises. (Yes, he's aware of the cost
which is not much a concern to him.)

? Is there anything special that needs our attention as we proceed?
Power and data wires seem pretty straightforward but I concerned
about what we don't know. Thanks in advance!

Bob

A few details would be helpful, for instance, do you have a USB or serial
port on your PC? What type of Sat phone? What op system on the PC? If
windows, what version? Have you checked with the phone maker? Some sell
phones and kits to connect sat phones to pc's. For some really neat
technical stuff, check out http://www.gpsphones.com
