How to troubleshoot connection of my subnotebook to PocketPC

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

Hi all. I have a samsung i700 phone/PocketPC PDA. I am trying to use it as a
modem to dial out from a Windows CE subnotebook device (HP Jornada 820).
I've got a cable, but the phone shows no sign that it knows the Jornada is
trying to dial out with it. Any suggestions for debugging this problem?

Not sure if this is going to be possible.

The only connection info I have seen is a usb to laptop tht requires
windows drivers to connect.

Since I don't believe the hp has usb host capabilities, and even if it
did, don't know of any i700 drivers, don't think it's going to be possible.

....question... since the i700 is more powerful than the HP, what's your
ultimate goal that can't be acomplished using just the i700??

yep, if it's possible, I'd like to do it.

hmm. I think it was their cable I bought (I can't find the paperwork for
it now). Have you played with their serial driver? If I install it, it won't
mess up my ability to sync will it?

good point. I'll check into the keyboards. The screen size is still an
issue of course.
