With Windows having a habit of visiting windowsupdate (despite having
switched off auto updating) I daren't connect my laptop via GPRS in
windows. Not that I'd want to use it anyway ;)
Linux only GPRS for me ;-)

I only ever used 'doze with the t68i because of Vodafone's GPRS
software. It's bye-bye time for Uncle Bill now!
I'm using the Easy GPRS Connect front end and it works a treat. Are you
using a front-end or writing your own pppd stuff?
Cheers,
Andrew

Since I'd always written my own pppd chat scripts since I first dialled up
in Linux, I just modified an existing one for (Orange) GPRS. Never really
bothered with the pppd frontend stuff.
