Hi Mark,<br>
<br>
Running one of Michael's recent builds of 2.7.2/RT/V2.<br>
"SERVER tmc.openvehicles.com" seems to work like a charm (still
getting 'live' after 10/15 minutes at least)<br>
Using the 2€/month Free Mobile sim card in France (runs over
Orange's 2G network as they don't have a 2G network themselves)<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
<br>

By the way, anyone brave enough to try putting in ‘<a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://tmc.openvehicles.com"
class="">tmc.openvehicles.com</a>’ into the ServerIP field, even
without running this new code?
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">From what I can see (and tested here), if your ISP
provides DNS servers as part of its GPRS profile, then it should
just work. The change below is just to allow you to specify a
DNS server directly (rather than rely on the ISP provided ones).
Switching to use DNS names should allow us to avoid problems
such as TMC experienced this past week.

improvements.</div>

<div class="">Most noticeable new work is parameter
#0x16, GPRSDNS. This can be configured as the
fourth parameter to the GPRS command, and
specifies the DNS server. It seems that the gprs
protocol allows the mobile providers to push DNS
server IPs to us, and the SIM908 recognises and
stores those. But, for those providers that don’t
support that, this parameter allows it to be
explicitly set. We can now use DNS names (<a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://tmc.openvehicles.com/" class="">tmc.openvehicles.com</a>),
instead of IP addresses, for the Server IP
parameter. This is a much better way of doing it.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I’ve also changed the COPS mechanism
around a bit, to try to make it work better in
marginal network conditions. In particular, in my
garage ;-) The new logic is to wait for up to 5
minutes, after COPS fails, to see if we can get a
network registration anyway. If we can, we
continue with GPRS. If we can’t we try COPS again.</div>
