GUI FOR ADDING ANOTHER APN: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=39951

---------------------------
As of release 0.6 there is now multiple "connection modes" available:

* Polite (Default behavior <0.6): Only switch to MMS connection if no connection is active, otherwise do nothing (pretty much)
* Rude: Force a disconnect of the active connection regardless of what it is, connect to MMS APN and then reconnect to the old one.
* Havoc: Try to bring up a connection to the MMS APN in parallell with whatever is active, this is what most other phones do. Note that to get this functionality on the N900 there are a few ugly hacks active which might break stuff, but it *should* work
---------------------------

Changing user-agent fMMS sends (Softbank JP users need to do this from what I've heard):
gconftool-2 -s /apps/fmms/useragent --type string "New UA String"

If you are having problems with the MMS APN being chosen by "Connect Automatically" the following steps before installing fMMS 0.9.12 *SHOULD* do the trick:
NOTE: This only applies to people coming from a version prior to 0.9.12!
These commands clears all configuration settings for fMMS, so make sure you save the settings somewhere (http://wiki.maemo.org/MMS is a good place for connection settings ;-)) before running any command.

Open terminal:
gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/fmms
gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /system/osso/connectivity/IAP/z_fMMS-APN

Make sure to copy and paste these as a space in the wrong place is VERY LIKELY to bork system stuff.

NOTE: As of 0.9.12 the settings for fMMS might no longer be saved in /system/osso/connectivity/IAP/z_fMMS-APN so deleting this might remove your GPRS Internet connection settings. However, a device reboot seems to restore the APN.

SHORT FAQ

• Problem: "Name or service unknown"/"No route to host"/"Connection refused" or similar when sending
  Solution: Make sure you are connected to the MMS APN - if you still get the error, try pinging the mmsc host from the terminal. If it still fails, double check your connection settings. If your provider list a "MMS Proxy" or "MMS Gateway", input this in the HTTP Proxy settings for the connection

DON'T FORGET TO SET THE PROXY IN INTERNET CONNECTIONS

Thanks for testing!
