I'm testing it now but it seems to be working properly.
Do "netstat -un" on in an xterm to see if it is connecting - you should see a port with 30175.
One thing which can break things is if you mistype the IMEI (even one character off - I had an 8 instead of a B and it wouldn't update). The string at the gpsgate.com site must be exactly the same as in the config panel - I would suggest using only numbers for a test.
I'll keep trying to make it fail the same way. My only problems have so far been the wifi while bluetooth interference.
If the wifi or other link disconnects, it may take a minute or two before it starts to send updates after a successful reconnect since it has to detect the break and then retry which it doesn't do that frequently. If you see the port number on the netstat -u command it has connected successfully.
One possible problem is a connect problem where it misses the password (IMEI) but the connection doesn't break so it isn't logged in but is sending location updates. I don't think with UDP it sends any acknowledgement of a login.
