What is the difference between WAP@cingular.com and ISP@cingular.com?
Is there going to be a speed difference? Why will either one login
using a USB cable to my laptop, but only WAP will work when using
Bluetooth to my laptop?

Different data packages:
WAP@cingular.com = MEdia Net
ISP@cingular.com = Data Connect

>Is there going to be a speed difference?


Not raw speed, but Data Acceleration (e.g., higher image compression) is only
available on Data Connect.

Probably a configuration issue. Both will work over either USB or Bluetooth.

the biggest difference is isp.cingular doesnt use a proxy server so you have
a ip address.

Then you are actually using MEdia Net.
