RL-4920 USB driver

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.sprintpcs (More info?)

Based on a recommendation made here, I purchased a USB cable for my RL-4920
and downloaded BitPim. A link on the BitPim to download the necessary USB
drivers is broken. The only reference I can find to the drivers on the Sanyo
web page is to purchase them for ~$30.

Is there a free alternative somewhere?

TIA

This is what I bought:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.d [...] 5719940590

$9.95 incl S&H. It works. The seller probably has more.

Perhaps other sellers have a cheaper net cost. Search ebay for "Sanyo 4920
cable".
