hello misc@

I am in a bit of a time crunch and I am looking for help.
it seems Windows Update screwed over a bunch of our laptops somehow(gee go
figure)
now remote desktop has some sort of a weird screen update problem that I
can't seem to fix.(spent Thursday and Friday on it)
(you type and it never shows up until you leave the text field)

when I use OpenBSD with rdesktop it works like a charm, no text update
problems)

we have a number of IBM/Lenovo x41 Tablet Computers.(Very well supported in
OpenBSD)

We also have several UTStarcom Pocket PC smart Phones(Windows Mobile 5)
here is a link
http://www.utstar.com/pcd/view_phone_details.aspx?mcode=PPC6700&sAct=0

What I am in desperate need to do is, use these Phones ad Wireless Modems
and use rdesktop to access our office(XP professional Machines) from the
field. would someone be able to help me
add these devices to OpenBSD in a way that they will attach in some way that
I can use them with ppp to dial #777?

here is someone that did this in Fedora 5

http://andrewtv.org/fedora-ppc6700/

below are several OpenBSD dmesg

dmesg x41 (Not in Modem Mode just default)
http://ralink.lesmilde.com/x41/x41-tablet2.txt

dmesg x41 ( in Wireless Modem Mode)
http://ralink.lesmilde.com/x41/x41-tablet3.txt

dmesg x41 with ACPI enabled( in Wireless Modem Mode)
http://ralink.lesmilde.com/x41/x41-tablet4.txt

if you need any other output I would be happy to get it to you imminently
if need be I can provide root ssh access to one of these.

Thank you for your help in advance, I am really in a time crunch
as no one can work without remote desktop
