Okay, two steps that I was missing wast the authorization code and setting a configuration with the cell phone MAC address.
I've progressed a little farther now as in the phone and BN are talking however when the BN is trying to dial I get a connection error on the phone. It has Call 1 that comes up and then says connection error and then call disconnected. The braillenote says no carrier. Here is the configuration that I used: Name-cell Device to use-cindy cell (actual MAC address) Phone number-(area code and seven digits) Service user name-(the name I use to log onto my ISP, not the same as email) Service password-(actual password) Use software compression-yes Use ip header compression-yes Log on to network-no Wait for dial tone-no Additional modem configuration Obtain an ip address automatically-yes Use a proxy server for this connection-no Thanks for the previous help. Any ideas on what to do now?
