v551 - as laptop modem

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.motorola (More info?)

I was reviewing old messages on how to use my v551 as a modem and saw
that I needed to activate a $3.99 wireless internet package (Cingular)
that would give me CSD. All I really need is the CSD and then I can
dial up my ISP. However, now talking to Cingular, they are saying that
this is old technology and is being phased out and that I should use
the new stuff (gprs) . Which is, naturally, far more expensive but
apparently faster.

$24.95 for 10mb. I wonder how many MB I use when I check email and
drop in on my home pc via Remote Desktop.

Is this the case? CSD is dead?

Thanks John. I've never used MediaNet. How do I use it as a modem for
the laptop?

Do I need a handset modem driver? Also, I found these two on internet.
What is that ISPDA thing?

-----------------------
How to set up DUN (Dial Up Networking) on a laptop
1. Setup bluetooth modem (Phone and Modems in Control Panel)
2. Add this to advanced modem config AT+CGDCONT=1, "ip",
"wap.cingular"
3. Use the following login info:
user: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM
pass: CINGULAR1
4. Dial: *99***1#
5. in bluetooth settings on the Treo enable dial up networking.
---------------------------------

ID: ISPDA@CINGULARGPRS.COM
Pass: CINGULAR1
Init String: &f&d2&c1+cgdcont=1,"IP","isp.cingular"


Also, under your "Connection Settings" be sure to uncheck the box that
indicates you need a proxy server (you don't).

The "Access Point" should be "isp.cingular"
