I activated GPRS on my connection last week and tried surfing using the built in infra red port by making a connection to the IR port on my notebook. Now, I'm not sure wether the IR port on my notebook is slow but the connection seems pretty slow to me. I get speeds of anywhere from 2-6 KBps (Thats what the download window in firefox report for various downloads I tested out with). The speeds are good enough for casual surfing and mails, though. Surfing using IR is a pain, btw, as the phone has to be kept in line with the port on the notebook. I have ordered for a USB bluetooth dongle and will let the list know about speeds with it later. Using an edge compliant phone (Nokia 6600 ?) would give a significant improvement in speed, though I have'nt seen edge working yet to comment much on this. -- Sharninder -- ______________________________________________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: (plug-mail@plug.org.in) List Information: http://plug.org.in/mailing-list/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
