I'm using the Qualcomm 860 with my pilot and laptop over bellatlantic's network. It is the same basic approach. The phone acts as a hayes compatible modem when used via the connection cable (via CDPD). FWIW, the Qualcomm phone is also cheaper, but bigger, than the motorola. I've found that to some modems, especially over a noisy network, won't connect to this phone over 300 baud. That is probably what you are seeing. This modem is much more sensitive to line noisy than a typical landline modem. -Seth -- "It is by will alone I set my mind in motion" --BXVAT5kNtrzKuDFl Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE4mjHeb7uZReU5w0URASQpAJ9qJ/Vxfafn1sKE91tu4pZ9hhXviQCfXMf5 8RK5+uQY+s8dPdtDIwRrxZE= =uZqf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --BXVAT5kNtrzKuDFl-- -- Subcription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with subject of "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" toWear-Hard Mailing List Archive (searchable): http://wearables.blu.org
