So my current thinking is to introduce a method to NetworkRegistration =

property called 'ProposeOperatorScan' and a new property called =

'OperatorScanInterval'.  The driver api can then support a (non-standard =

*gasp*) option to say whether this scan was initiated actively or not.

Maybe the Nokia modems can use this information not to drop the GPRS link i=
f =

it isn't an active scan being performed.

Regards,
