I hope your forgiving me because I ask the same question once again. Posted: Friday, April 14, 2006 6:07 AM (PST) My apologies for the delay in my response, though this is a forum and others could certainly be of a assistance as well.  In fact, others have had similar questions, discussed here. Even if we could locate a GPRS card, the only expansion bus available on the eBox is USB and PCI, not SD Card,  CF Card, or PC Card (PCMCIA), so the options with this solution are limited.  Let me suggest another option... Your development with eBox is intended for the creation of a prototype of the functionality you describe in the your final paper.  As a prototype it need not function using exactly the same form factor and hardware required for a production version.  So, perhaps another option would be to use a WiFi USB module (referenced here) connected to an Access Point, to simulate the presence of a wide area radio such as a GPRS radio.  The connection to your server would occur through the WLAN radio, which would act as a stand-in for the eventual use of a GPRS radio.  This would serve to demonstrate the concept, which is the primary objective of any prototype.
