Can I buy a vowel? Perhaps several?

Anyhow, I've searched all over the Internet. I have T-Mobile almost connecting with a Linux box. You see I thought I try a full scale Linux box before going down to the narrow confines of the 770. Both the 770 and the Linux computer(Fedora) use bluez tools so I thought this would be a hope skip and a jump. I am using a Samsung T-809 as a modem. I'd really like to use it as a bluetooth modem but it would be nice to know how to do this with a host enabled USB connection from the Nokia 770.

I am a total noob as far as T-Mobile and using cell phones as modems. I've also been spoiled by years of high speed Internet connections so I have forgotten everything I knew about dial-up networking. LOL it was like going from 2400baud to 56K was such a wonder ummm...so many years (13+) ago. Other geek and linux skils are high, however.

The two key pieces of information that I am using are

Code:

...
SAY	'Setting APN\n'
OK	'AT+CGDCONT=1, ”IP”, ”internet2.voicestream.com”'
...
OK	'ATD*99#'
CONNECT	' '

I see that some people have already connected with T-Mobile. In some respects it looks like more of the correct settings than the hardware. So can anyone provide some hints please?

Thanks,
Greg
