    I have a mobile phone "Data Card" which is a PCMCIA type of card allowing you to use the mobile phone network to connect your laptop to the Internet at near broadband speeds. It's NOT a mobile phone but just a card.

    This I imagine does some pretty intensive real hardware requests so i'm not sure how the Host OSD would handle it - but would be nice.

    I'm running VODAFONE MOBILE CONNECT -- about the only app I only need to boot back into Native Windows.

    Cheers

    Echelon pcmcia cards

    I agree, although i've seen little support from elsewhere in these forums.
    The company I work for have many legacy applications that use ECHELON pcmcia cards (BMS, Fire detection systems, PAGA systems, turbine control systems etc) that just don't have XP drivers for them :( . So we're stuck with dedicated laptops running '98.
    There's a lot of sofware out there like this.
    I guess it's just not 'glamorous' enough for parallels staff to concider.
    Other than that Parallels is awesome.:D
    Thanks to the team for a great job
