Secure Wi-Fi to Cellular Access Point From Digi

Digi Launches Secure Wi-Fi to Cellular Access Point

- Digi Wi-Point 3GT provides drop-in Internet access virtually anywhere -

MINNETONKA, Minn.--March 27, 2008--Digi International (NASDAQ:DGII) today introduced the Digi Wi-Point 3G, a PC card based 3G cellular router with integrated Wi-Fi access point. It acts as a cellular-to-Wi-Fi hotspot and provides secure, high-speed Internet access to remote workgroups and devices. It works with more cellular PC data cards than any other cellular router, enabling Internet connectivity virtually anywhere a cellular signal is available.

SpaceDev, a developer of space technology systems, products and services, uses the Digi Wi-Point 3G to allow its engineers to send data back to company headquarters from remote rocket testing sites. Jon Martin, director of IT for SpaceDev comments: "We test rockets at least two miles from civilization, so we usually have no wired connectivity. The Digi Wi-Point 3G allowed us to set up an on an 'on the fly' hotspot so our engineers could send data back to headquarters. It was simply plug-and-play, and we were up and going in 30 seconds. We tried both Sprint and Verizon cards and found that both worked instantly."

The Digi Wi-Point 3G supports more than 40 cellular PC data cards around the world, including PCMCIA and PCI Express cards (with appropriate adapter). It is a three-in-one router with integrated 802.11b/g Wi-Fi access point, 10/100 Ethernet and global cellular network access via virtually any carrier supplied PC data card. It is small and easy to deploy, and enables drop-in networking to devices that are hard to reach or do not have convenient access to wired connections.

"The Digi Wi-Point 3G allows remote sites and devices to wirelessly connect to the Internet or securely integrate into a corporate network - even if that remote device happens to be driving down the highway," said Larry Kraft, senior vice president of global sales and marketing, Digi International. "It is ideal for applications such as temporary networks, remote Wi-Fi hotspots, mobile/transportation deployments, disaster recovery, security and more."

The Digi Wi-Point 3G features enterprise class security, including IPsec VPN, WPA2 encryption and a full featured firewall. It also includes GPS support (with qualified PC cards), failover to dial-up modem and auto-detection of the cellular data card for seamless field upgradeability.

The Digi Wi-Point 3G is available now for $485 MSRP. For more information, please visit

April 1 Asbestos Awareness Day

Mayor to Declare April 1 Asbestos Awareness Day in Montgomery

Mayor Bobby Bright will sign a proclamation declaring April 1 as Asbestos Awareness Day in Montgomery in a ceremony at his office Friday, March 28, 2008, at 10 a.m.

Montgomery, Ala.  - March 25, 2008 -- Mayor Bobby Bright will sign a proclamation declaring April 1 as Asbestos Awareness Day in Montgomery in a ceremony at his office Friday, March 28, 2008, at 10 a.m. This proclamation will go hand-in-hand with a senate resolution declaring April 1 National Asbestos Awareness Day, and April 1-7 Asbestos Awareness Week. Asbestos Awareness Day is a project of the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization.

Locally, Asbestos Awareness Day strives to educate the public about the ongoing dangers of asbestos exposure, which can lead to asbestos-related disease such as asbestosis, lung cancer, and malignant mesothelioma.

Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer affecting the mesothelium, or the protective lining around our internal organs. It most commonly affects the linings of the lungs, abdomen and heart. Unfortunately, many symptoms of mesothelioma (shortness of breath, severe cough, chest pain) do not appear for 20 or more years, making it difficult to diagnose early. For this reason, the cancer is often diagnosed in the later stages, making it difficult for proper treatment and survival.

Asbestos has been used in a wide range of building materials, including roofing, insulation, ceiling tiles, and sheet rock. For this reason, it is especially important to identify any potential asbestos hazards before engaging in home improvement projects.

In the U.S., current statistics show 2,000-3,000 people are diagnosed with malignant pleural mesothelioma each year. However, 10,000 Americans die each year from all asbestos-related diseases, according to statistics compiled by the Environmental Working Group. Mesothelioma was not tracked as a specific cause of death by federal health officials until 1999, so actual totals for mesothelioma may be much higher.

It is the primary goal of MyMeso.org to raise awareness in the public about mesothelioma and related asbestos diseases, to provide a forum for those affected by mesothelioma, and to create a network of information and resources expanding hope for a cure. MyMeso.org is a public awareness and community outreach effort of Beasley, Allen, Methvin, Portis & Miles, P.C.

Phone Calling Card Rates Under 1 Cent Per Minute!

New International Phone Cards are cheap and reliable. We've been using 3 different phone cards from Big-Zoo.us for about 3 years now. The service and features have be great and I never think about how much it's costing me to call a client or a tech support line. On hold for 15 minutes? Well that's still annoying, but at least I don't have to pay $5-$10 anymore. My calling rates for domestic US calls are about 3 cents a minute I think, and they have cards now that are as low as 1 cent a minute. Often if you put $20 or more in a card you get a discount so your cost is even lower. http://www.big-zoo.us/
 
We just started using the Champion phone card because it includes a free 800-Number that I can use for my business. Non-US companies can get one of these cards, program it to call their office, and just like that they have a Toll Free Number in the US to give their customers. Calling rates vary by country, but most are very low compared to other services. Don't let the way they display prices fool you. When you see a cost of 0.90 ¢/min, it looks like 90 cents, but it's real .9 cent, or less than one cent per minute. Yeah, that's cheap!
 

 
You don't have a cell phone or mobile phone, but you want one. Well now's the time because they are cheaper and better than ever. Check out http://www.cellphones-resource.info/ and find a great deal.
 
I can't believe that email has to suck so bad because of spam! Why can't something be done to keep spammers out and still have email be useful and easy to use? Controlled Access Email thinks they may have the answer...!
 
Domainers are controlling more and more domain names everyday. Is there anything that can be done and are we running out of domain names? Do we need something better than what ICANN offers today?

RE: The Syndicate that defrauded you has been caught!

Dear Reverend Barrister Willy Bayo,

Thank you for your message. I am so very glad that you were able to catch these people!

They stole a total of $225,000 from us over a period of 8 months. Each time they contacted me they wanted more and more money. After a while I thought that I would have none left, so I stopped paying them.

It would be wonderful if I could get that money back. Please let me know what I need to do.

Thank you,
Mrs. Mable Nordfish

To whom it may concern

We have nabbed a syndicate of fraudsters who specializes in document forgery, impersonation and using of fictitious offices and clandestine phone, fax and emails to defraud innocent people. On interrogation, we promised these syndicate that if they confess their evil acts, that we will help them reduce their jail terms. Based on this promise we made to them, they provided your email address as one of their victims. We don't know if their confession that they defrauded you is correct. If indeed you lost any money to these fraudsters in the time past, please notify us with immediate effect. We have recovered enormous amount in their accounts. We have also seized and sold all their houses, companies, expensive cars, stocks and shares they bought with their ill gotten wealth for the purpose of paying their victims what they lost.

Our concern now is that their victims as they enlisted are so many that all the money we realized from the sale of their belongings including the money recovered in their account will not be enough to pay back all their victims in full what they have lost. We advise you to respond as quickly as possible to enable you be among the first to be reimbursed. Due to the fact that their victims are too many, we may not guarantee to reimburse you all you lost but will assure you that you will recover at least half. In your reply, do indicate the total amount they defrauded from you for verification purposes. Note however that your transport cost and other contingencies including the transfer charges should not be included as part of your total lost. If you are not the right person, please disregard this email.
