I often send files via ftp on GSM conection to the internet 500k in size. I dial from my laptop using a bluetooth modem to the XDA2. It connects fine however it takes ages and even fails sometimes. If I use my nokia in the same position it sends 3 times quicker. I assume there is a modem string needed or something. Anyone got any ideas?

I have also no idea how to use GPRS from my laptop through the XDA2. I tried to install Vodafone Connect on my laptop but the installation allways comes up with an error message saying
'A file cannot be found, this error is catastrophic.'
That is not a nice mesage to me.

Any more ideas anyone????

I think I need a Jedi answer on this one

Thanks a bunch for that URL, It has helped. I found an AT String to put in the laptop under the Bluetooth modem settings which has made a more stable connection however I still have a pretty slow data flow rate, about 500Kbs when I was getting 900Kbs with the Nokia, do you know why? Can anyone help???

The web site also enabled me to use GPRS from laptop using the XDA2 which works a treat.

Does anyone know if it is possible to do this with the XDA I?

Thanks!
