Gprs Connection Over Bluetooth

[lenkov]

I have t-mobile GPRS Bluetooth phone (sony-ericsson t610), and I want to know is there any easy way to use Bluetooth to connect to GPRS network (as the serial port requires a lot of gymnastics to keep the two devices pointed to each other).

Any preferable CF Bluetooth card I should be using?

There is a Bluetooth howto that describes all of what you want:

The GPRS modem init strings are the same as with IrDA, so if you have that working, there should be no problem.

As for Bluetooth cards, look at this list:

What Z/OS?

I also have a T610 with T-mobile.  It works great with my c860 Cacko 1.21b and Blue Monkey CF card.

Under c860/Cacko just select Dial-up (Bluetooth), and put in *99***2# as the phone number, under modem tab search for your phone BT MAC.

You may need to create CID 2 on your phone with an APN of internet2.voicestream.com  (for North America).

Alternatively you may want to create another CID to use internet3.voicestream.com.  You will have to call T-mobile first if you want to use internet3.  internet2 is behind a firewall and uses NAT.  internet3 puts your Z directly on the net.  Make sure your secure any services (e.g. ssh).

Benchmarking internet2 vs internet3 returned the same performance.  I find that if I ssh with compression to my ISP and port forward their proxy to my Z and setup Firefox to use it that I get ok performance.

Any know of a good web accelerator solution for Linux I can port to the Z?
