PDA connecting to Internet via Landline? - Networking

Hullo Everybody
This is a question for a friend with PDA (not XDA ).
Essentially he wants to dial internet (his own home dialup account) with his PDA via a landline phone. I wonder if there's a cable to do this?
Any comments are appreciated.
Thankyou
Michael

There are compact flash dialup modems that you can plug into the pocket pc and dial like a dialup modem on a pc.

any site for them ?
are they SD or SDIO ?

I use a Psion IRda to landline modem box. Used to be expensive (for psion 5? but dixons /PC wrld UK were doing them for 12.50 GBP) It works with xda 1&2 in UK and USA!

Q: Laptop->WM5->GPRS ?

Appologies in advance for the daft question. I was wondering if its possible for me to configure my Wizard as a gateway to the internet?
From my Wizard, once I've established a GPRS connection I can browse/surf the internet, but I'd like to be able to connect with my PC and browse the intenet.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance and once again, sorry for the newb question.

I won't have a Wizard. But, let me guess
Try switching on your Wizard IR and point it to your PC. It things goes well, your PC should say some hardware detected.. and it should have a modem class hardware, which should enable you to connect to the net. Try fiddle with it. That is what's on offer from my SonyE phone.
Is it possible to make a connection through usb cable?
jep, you can use youre wizzard als a gprs modem for youre laptop.
start with going trough
[start]
[programs]
[modem link]
plug in the usb on bove sides (wizzard and pc)
youre pc will find a new deviece.
Insert youre cd from t-mobile with applications. On that cd is also a set of drivers for the wizzard modem function. (just tell windows to search the cd the rest will be done automaticly)
go to connections on youre pc.
create a new connection.
make sure it's pointing to youre new added modem (wizzard).
use for the phone number *99#
have a little patience and wola youre welcome on the world wide web.
ps if you are dutch try this post on a dutch forum which is maybe more clear

Both IrDA and USB will work as described above. IrDA, on the other hand, is not the way to go if you have EDGE - IrDA's maximal 115 kbps is slower than the maximal about 175 kbps of EDGE.
If you have Bluetooth support in the notebook, you will want to read this tutorial on setting up the Wizard as a Bleutooh modem: http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=510&more=1
"Modem link" worked a treat - thanks!
For Vodafone Australia, I needed to send the following init string
"at+cgdcont=1,"IP","vfinternet.au"

Pity the GPRS counter doesn't work!
Any Drivers for OSX for my powerbook?
Interesting topic...
is there similarly a way to use WiFi from the Wizard on a laptop, via IR or USB?
Couldn't get this to work while recently at a hotel where the laptop couldn't see the hotspot anywhere in the room, but the wizard could see it everywhere in the room! =)
No.
What you need to do that is known in the Winblows world as "Internet Connection Sharing", or "ICS", and its not in the WinCE build. At all.
Going the OTHER way however - having your Windows laptop serve up the GPRS connection to a whole host of other machines on an ad-hoc Wifi network - that DOES work!
HI there i donot have modem drivers in my cdrom. Please if any one can post the drivers file on this page it will help a fellow pda user a lot.
Thank you very much in advance.
Here you go, enjoy. Tried it and I got 150 - 175 kbs at www.dslreports.com/mspeed @ 200k and 600k tests. Granted it was at 12:37 a.m. and not a big load on the network cause everyone is probably asleep.
Hmm, becuase of this, now I want to sell off my unlocked sierra 775 edge card because it's of no use to me now. Man I love this phone more and more!
Cheers,

Hi all,
I am able to use my MDA Vario as modem for my laptop connecting the MDA Vario via USB but when I connect I do not see the GPRS connection on my MDA Vario connecting or being used so a big G stands in the top of my screen instead of a G with two arrows below it.
I use as modem settings:
Dial number *99#
Extra initialization command +CGDCONT=1,"ip","internet","",0,0
Is GPRS used now?
If not how can I configure the MDA Vario or modem on my laptop in such a way that is use GPRS?
I think the "G" icon does not change even if it is connected.
in the modem setting replace the word " internet " with your providers GPRS setting,
in the case of t-mobile it will be " internet2.voicesream.com"
and that's it!
When I change "internet" into "internet2.voicestream.com" I am not able to connect at all and when I have this setting set to "internet" I am able to connect and use my MDA Vario as Modem.
The only thing I am very interested in is how do I know if I am using GPRS or normal modem as connection? This because I have a GPRS abo and I do not want to use my normal phone abo for modem connection.
Does anyone know if the internet setting is OK and how I can see if GPRS is used?
Thanks.
yes, that I know it will use the GPRS or EDGE conection, It is only convinient if you have an unlimited data plan.
I dind't notice that you where in the us, look up in you photo what you use to connect to your GPRS setting, and then use the same onenceon the computer in the HTC modem window.
internet2.voicestrem.com is only for the unlimited data plan in the USA with T-mobile..
http://www.taniwha.org.uk/gprs.html
this is a link with some setting
The page you have mentioned http://www.taniwha.org.uk/gprs.html mention to use internet-act for settings in modem and I am not able to connect using internet-act. I only use internet as setting in initialization string and I can connect.
I am located in the Netherlands and I assume that this is the correct configuration to use my MDA Vario as modem for my laptop and connect via GPRS. Will see on my next bill. .

You can use your magician as wireless modem with the correct driver & usbmodemdialer app.
-Uncheck usb connection in Act.sync
- Start wireless modem on magician
- configure AP in Wir.Mod.
- Press start
- Connect magician via usb to PC
- Now it should be recognized as Wir.Mod.
- Start USBmodemdialer
- Give in suitable credentials for your telco
- Press dial
The speed is horrible in this, I manage only 28.8Kbit/sec. I'm on flat-fee gprs so speed isn't my biggest concern, but still it is @&ììíõóêëíö¶ýü± slow.
Regards, M
Btw if you happen to miss a file, in the ftp uploads\usb_modem I uploaded the complete package a while ago ;-)

doesnt matter as long as u r getting internet connection on ur mobile u can share it via a program caller wmwifirouter.

this program will make ad hoc connection which ur computer will identify ( on mac or windows)
simply connect on that and ur mobile will issue ip address to laptop ( it will take around 30 secs). tha n u can use laptop with shared internet from ur mobile.
works beautiful on my mac and pc
That sounds interesting
Would you mind posting a link to the cab file?
WMwifiRouter
Thanks for the tip. WMwifiRouter works great!
I tried Internet Sharing (BT PAN) and USB Modem but both, for whatever reason, provided fractional transfer rates. (see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2122160#post2122160)
Has anyone tried PAN
with the new MacBook Pro - Late 2008? I can connect but the performance is 2-3k at best!! It's acting like the MacBook Air, they can't tetherer with bluetooth either.
if you're looking for wmwifirouter, found the trial version via my friend google, here;
