Yes 3G. (soon 4G here in Sweden). When I go to the drop down and open the
VPN I can highlight the options there but even under PPP there is no option
for automatic reconnect.

Here are the screen shots:

This latest session took no less than 7 restarts, each with the routine of
me clicking the drop down icon and the '3 wideband 1' selection option 3
times (1st time a 1.5 sec rotating icon, 2nd time a hint of rotation and a
lable of 'you are now dissconnected', 3rd time a durational rotation -
which only sometimes achieves a connection. When I do get on line I have
good speed and stability for the most. But right now I am off line though -
through no choice of my own. I have unchecked the box under file but there
is no automatic reconnect . To send this I will probably have to go through
the whole rigmarole again.

The dongle I have is new, the old one wasn't designed for the 16mb speeds
that we now have so you lost me on the memory issue. Can you give me an URL
to the sprint site you mention please?
