RE: [PLUG] R280LX / data cable / Linux

["jon" <jon@gokart4xmas.com>]

I did it with my palm to a cellphone... actually worked quite well (although
it was a startac, with a built in modem, not an Ericson. Also, I was able to
take advantage of Verizon's free data access, so I didn't have to get an
extra ISP).

You should look at this site for info on using PQA's on a non-palm VII:

also of note:

I got it all working quite nicely with my Palm IIIxe with OS 3.5.2. The new
palm OS, 4.x, might handle things a bit differently though...

Has anyone tried getting an Ericsson R280LX cell phone working with the
data cable (DRS-01) under Linux to allow wireless access to the Internet
(albeit at 19.2kbps max)?  It definitely works under Windows, but I
haven't seen that anyone has tried it under Linux.  Seems like it would
work though, all I need to do is set up a ppp connection to /dev/ttyS0.

BTW:  Anyone tried the same with a Palm PDA?  That would be VERY VERY
cool to have wireless internet access with the larger screen and have
ssh access as well.

Background:  AT&T, with their pocketnet service, provides unlimited access
to their CDPD (data) network, using the microbrowser on the phone.  I
assume this would also apply to use of the nework via the data cable.
