Hi,

To connect to your 3100 and laptop, you can use a
data cable. you can find a usb data cable for your 3100 at
http://www.vavolo.com

you should choose USB data cables instead of data cables connected by
serial port too to achieve higher transmission rate.

i used the data cable for my 7250 and it works fine.

the 3100 has no built in modem, it has gprs for wap only. you cannot
dialup to the internet using a 3100 and a pc.
