Hi Tina and Don, I don't know if TheSupplyNet makes their own cables or not. I do know that every time I have gone to the site to look for a serial cable for a particular model of phone, it has been there and ready to ship. I think all the cell phone providers are at least hesitant to give any kind of support when it comes to using a phone as a modem. They like to say there has to be special software involved, and they have no idea that the BrailleNote exists, much less how it is set up. They can't seem to imagine a piece of equipment that has all the necessary drivers and everything it needs to work, and all one has to do is find the right cable.
Good luck, Sarah -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Tina Birnenbaum Sent: Wednesday, August 25, 2004 8:46 AM To: Braillenote List Subject: Re: [Braillenote] getting cables custom made? hey sara i checked out the site you gave me and i think they do actually have a cable for the samsung i saw last night that is a serial cable. Do you know if they make their own cables? I haven't checked any other companies, but i saw every company i have ever heard of . The cable looks to be about 80 dollars, but if i get that phone and that would really meet my needs, then fine so, will see what they send me monday and may check here at that site first to see if they have it before looking i to custom made which i would guess would be the same or more. Sprit likes to tell you that you can't connect with your pda or laptop and their phones because they want it through the phone, but then i keep find ing people usingtheir laptops or pdas with their cells whether it is sprint or someone else. Don, have you checked the supply net for your cingingular problem? Saras message is below so maybe they would have soething for you? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sarah Cranston" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, August 24, 2004 10:28 PM Subject: Re: [Braillenote] getting cables custom made? > Hi Tina, > I got the serial cable for my Motorola V60S phone from: > > www.thesupplynet.com > > If you don't paste this link in, but choose to type it in manually, don't > forget the "the".--Grin! > I also got a serial cable for my previous phone, a Samsung A310, but that > phone didn't work with my BrailleNote.
