$2000US Bounty for a QUICK (Before Mid Jan) PPP / Sierra 3G Solution for PFSense
-
Guys,
The LCD stuff is a 'bonus' and doesn't need to be touched by Jan 10th - the key thing we need working is the PPP interface working as a WAN port in failover - That's it.. Not rocket science. The date is slightly flexible as well (but not by much!). That's a target for a first cut.
Looking forward to a reply!!
Cheers

Not trying to dismiss your bounty, but one cannot just simply build a GUI for this and expect it to work. Whoever works on this will need the respective hardware to test these changes out. Just a tip, you might get more of a response if you can provide the appropriate equipment for testing. :)

Good call, SDALE… Agreed. The PPP side of things will need a Sierra device to test.. Happy to provide!
So.. ! In addition to the bounty!! Free Sierra 875U modem (you can keep it!).. to the person who takes this one up (and makes it work). You'll need to drop in your own SIM card of course - but the modem will be yours to keep.
(The LCD option we'll have to play by ear beyond just installing PicoLCD as this will be expensive to ship from Sydney - It's also not urgent).
Any takers yet?!
Cheers

Gents,
$1K hasn't got anyone's attention so I'm doubling it to $2K if the solution is delivered by Jan 14. (Reverts to $1k after Jan 14)
Hope this now has someone's attention!!
Cheers

I sent you an email Andy, and one to core team. Holonyx will be happy to do this work.

Garret - When can you start on this one?
We're running out of time.
Cheers

Garret has our support to complete this bounty, and accessibility for questions as needed. We were working on this ourselves, but have hit a few dead ends and don't have time to complete this within the required time frame.
I can act as an escrow for this bounty via PayPal if that is desirable to both parties, for just the cost of the PayPal transaction.

Thanks CMB / Garret. Let me know the what / when / how. Will forward a modem as soon as you're ready. In the interim (while we await freight), any PPP connection will most likely be a good starting point for testing.
Cheers

Shot you an email this morning Andy, hope you got that thing in the mail.:-)

Garret,
How's it all going? Checking to see you received the modem?
Drop me an email to let me know how it's looking!
Cheers
Andy
