umtsmon: 0.8 released
This program is to control your UMTS PCCard: enter SIM PIN code, send and receive SMS and control/monitor the network connection.
umtsmon 0.8 has a lot of new features:
* much improved profile support
* internationalization support
(Dutch and German are nearly 100% done, most other languages
are still non-existent or in early stages)
* traffic statistics - per profile, for home and roaming, including warnings
* many small and larger UI fixes
* improved support for several devices
* improved autodetection
* many bug fixes
There is a known bug that umtsmon cannot perform autodetection correctly
on 2.6.20 Linux kernels.
Another known bug is that umtsmon doesn't work well with bluetooth.

umtsmon 0.7 released
The 0.7 release comes with a new autodetection system for the cards. Several new cards are detected and many cards are detected more reliably. The code is also much better maintainable.
Once a card is detected, it will be remembered in the config file.
umtsmon 0.7 also comes with an improved UI and many small fixes that improve the usability of the application - including logging output of a failed PPP connection, notification that a profile needs saving and a new radio preferences dialog.

UMTSmon 0.6 released
Well, this is the 0.6 release of umtsmon... Finally.
Sorry it took so long, apart from everyone being busy, Klaas got into the hospital and we had some hardware issues to fight.
This is probably the stablest umtsmon ever - for all 100% supported cards.
If you own a single port serial card (XU870, GC79, most Sierra Wireless), this release will finally work for you - but don't try to do things with
umtsmon whilst you are connected (like the sms or info dialogs) - umtsmon will crash.
Apart from stability, you'll notice the new, revamped UI. There's still one control that needs to be moved, but we feel the new UI is better to everyone.
Also, umtsmon now has a dialog at startup that will tell you if all settings are correct - and propose to change them if needed.
Please, enjoy this new release of umtsmon 0.6.
Klaas van Gend and the umtsmon team

umtsmon in the news: linux user 2007/03
The German Magazine Linux User 2007/03 will feature an article about
UMTS data cards.
Apart from explaining how the hardware works, they also discuss the
Linux software - comgt and umtsmon. The latter even gets its own topic!
What does this mean to umtsmon?
* First of all: recognition from the press: thanks everyone!
* Secondly: we have work to do - they mention several things
we need to work on. part of those (hardware detection / support)
is already on the roadmap, part will be added to the plan soon.
I'd like to thank everyone at Linux User, but also all contributors to
umtsmon for this achievement!
