You have to set up a profile for the Fido GPRS settings, and then instruct
your laptop to use that profile (usually by modifying the dial up number).

Do a google search, the procedure is different for every model of phone,
and you'll need the specific settings for Fido.

Never mind, I forgot I need to run the SE networking wizard again for the
T616 and save the settings on the new phone. Works fine with both phones
now.
