Ok, you cell phone gurus, I've read this entire thread and I can't find the answer to my question.
I have a nokia 6360 cell phone with the irda interface. I downloaded the software from nokia to manage contacts on the computer and send the contacts back and forth between the cell phone without a cable. That works well.
What I want to do though, is use the cell phone while on the road to dial my ISP (road runner's dial-up number) to connect to the internet. Road Runner gives me 10 hours per month of dial-up service which is more than enough for me. And, I have plenty of minutes on my cell phone (Suncom).
Question is, how do I make Windows XP see the cell phone (through the irda port) as a modem?
The speed is no problem to me as all I'll be doing is checking my e-mail via webmail interface.
Thanks,
Dennis
Dennis,
Did you ever get and answer to this?
I use a Nokia 3650 regularly in the TT (slight exageration--I'm a newbie) to hook up IR with a Toshiba series A25. The connectivity package that Nokia supplies has modem features for IR and Bluetooth. Once the pkg is installed, you are given a choice /connect to/ on the start menu. When you select the Nokia modem you get a screen where you enter dialup number.
My carrier sells unlimited access for $20/mo and has a 4 digit access code. Have not yet tried my RR dialup program.
