    Hi

    I have a Vodafone 3g 'data connect USB modem' and I have recently acquired a
    Vaio TZ331WN which has an on-board 3G transceiver. Irritatingly, its seems
    you can only get the Vaio to work with the bundled T-Mobile software and sim
    card.

    Even more irritatingly, the Vodafone Connect software only seems to support
    on-board 3G capability on Acer, Dell, HP and Lenovo machines.

    Obviously, I can continue to use the USB dongle but it seems unnecessarily
    awkward. So the question is:

    a) can I use any of the other packages (for Acer, Dell etc) with my Vaio?
    b) is there a third party application I can use which will use the
    internal 3G transceiver with a Vodafone sim?

    Any advice please?

    Thanks

    Paul

    Happily, I have solved this myself (with the help of the trusty interweb).
    The driver and a communications utility is available from Sony for XP. It
    runs fine on Vista. Doesn't do anything fancy - but all I want is to be able
    to address the transceiver, which it does.
