i just got wireles internet express activated on my plan, but it does not
seem to work. what settings should i use? right now i am using the following
settings:

express
homepage http://device.home
session mode permament
connection security on
data bearer GPRS
           access point wap.cingular
           ip address 66.209.11.61
           authentication type secure
           login type automatic
           user name WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM
           password CINGULAR1

i have looked on the net and thse seem to be the settings that most people
use. if i set the data bearer to GSM data, i have the following settings:

dial up number : empty
ip address: empty
authentication type: normal
data call type ISDN ( i can also select analog, what should i use?)
data call speed 14400 (or should i use 9600?)
login type automatic
username CINGULAR1
password CINGULAR1

do you guys have these settings? i have a feeling that i should use the GPRS
data connection because the GSM connection has a dial in number

thanks

Can you go to any URL? Of course some phones can only see wap'ed
sights, but what I'm asking is, does Cingular run a "garden wall"
that lets you access only those services that pay to be included in
Cingular's "virtually any website providing a wealth of resources"
(I think that's how they phrase it).

Ummm...let me rephrase that.

Can you go to any URL?  Yes/No
Does Cingular still use a "garden wall" portal?  Yes/No

Those two would be mutually exclusive. So if it the answer is
Yes and No, then I could view my personal WAP website on my server.

Couldn't say about Express but on Wireless Internet I can go to any URL
(yes) -- there is no sign of any "garden wall" restrictions (no).  I
can't imagine Express being any different.

OK, that's what I wanted to know. Thanks!

I rememeber what AT&T had free access (but you still paid a very high
data usage fee) for sites behind their garden wall, but for like $10
a month, you could have unfetted access beyond.

Since I would only use it on my WAP'ed sites, I don't anticipate it
costing too much, unlike my Sprint Vision which is unlimited. But
considering I can go back to Cingular for almost half of what I'm
paying Sprint, I could use effectively use Cingular's data usage for
the same monthly cost.

You betcha.  Data is data is data.  I'll bet you've exceeded your meg
already!  The 3600 has a GPRS counter- keep a very watchful eye on it!

$7 per megabyte? or just the first? how much per each additional
megabyte? thats insane.

astronomical bill...bankruptcy might not be too far off for you....

Figure on at least 3 Meg for a simple web site with a couple of
pictures and several pages of text. You can kiss your A+ credit report
gone real quick!.
