Now that's interesting - I'm trying to connect to Virgin UK and get the
0x400b (which noone - not even PalmOne seems to know the meaning of). the
Sim works fine in another handset. If only I could decipher the error, I
reckon it would, at least, help us understand what the problem is.

As it stands, if I manually set an IP address on the Treo, it errors. If I
leave the IP address as dynamic, it connect (and I can see the IPCP,LCP and
PAP negotiations in the log file followed by Ip address, gateway address
and DNS being delivered) but refuses to transfer any data - even DNS
fails.

My suspicion is that there's something a little odd going on in the IP
stack, but I can't quite pin it down.

I'm on 1.1.2 ....nuff said.

P.S. - I've re-X-posted this to comp.sys.palmtops.pilot because I know
there's a least one Handspring support guy reads that group.
Followups are still set to uk.comp.sys.palmtops.
