Anyone have a set of instructions for setting up a Palm Tungsten T3 to
link to a T68i via Bluetooth and out over the GPRS (I assume) Fido
data network?

One thing that makes me somewhat suspicious of my current setup: My
T68i (recently unlocked and converted from Rogers/AT&T) can't seem to
access WAP. I may still have some old Rogers settings being used.
Anyone have any details on what I need to clean out?

I *do* have a data package. :)

If you have paired your Palm-T68 once to establish the SMS/Phone Dialing you
will need to pair it again for your Network connection.

Network Settings on your palm.

Username: fido
Password: fido
Phone: *99#

Under Details:
Connnection type: PPP
Query DNS: Checked
IP Address: Check Automatic

Script should be empty

Network settings on your T68 (8-6-1 from the menu)

Name: Fido GPRS
APN: internet.fido.ca
User ID: fido
Password: fido
Password request: OFF
IP Address: empty
DNS Address: Empty

Name: Fido WAP
APN: wap.fido.ca
User ID: fido

Thanks, Rhodan. Palm access is now working. Which is far more important
to me than WAP anyway. :)

For anyone looking at this through Google archives later, the only thing
missing here is this:

--Connection Settings for Palm--

Name: T68i BT Modem
Connect To: Modem
Via: Bluetooth
Device: [pick your phone]
Dialing: TouchTone

Nothing need be changed in Details.

If Rhodan's advice doesn't get you going, drop me a line at stewart 'at'
midwinter 'dot' ca. I've got a T3 connecting to Fido via an R520.

Strangely enough, I didn't use to be able to get WAP access with this phone,
as it's not on Fido's list of supported phones, but when I tried it again
last week, I managed to get in!

cheers
