The main sticking points are you need to dial some arbitrary number that your provider won't be able to tell you without spending 5 hours on the phone, and you need to know your username (relatively easy to find) and your password (harder than hell to find). Once you have all that figured out, AND you've made sure your data plan includes Phone as Modem capability, you can link to it with bluetooth and then dial out over it with PPP. , that reminds me, the ppp chat script was fairly hard to figure out too. -- Thanks, Josh Paetzel PGP: 8A48 EF36 5E9F 4EDA 5A8C 11B4 26F9 01F1 27AF AECB signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Thank you for information. It's unfortunate that even though cell phone already has IP connectivity that built-in browser works through it's still necessary to go through dialup/PPP to get this to laptop. I guess I will give it a try too. Yuri ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [freebsd-questions] Any experience using cellphone as a modem on FreeBSD?
I have Motorola cellphone with data package on it and FreeBSD laptop. It would be very nice to have internet everywhere. Anybody uses/used cellphone this way? I know internet connectivity can go through the special cable and maybe through Bluetooth. I guess from FreeBSD side it should look like USB modem. I did this with a Motorola StarTAC , a Treo 600, and a Treo 650. The StarTAC cable was serial only, so I just used it as a normal modem. Loved it. The 600 I used both serial and USB, and serial while slower was more reliable. The 650 I did USB and it seemed ok.
