Solution : SLVR L7 as a GPRS modem using T-Mobile (Netherlands)
--- this is not a real iSync solution, but since Apple hasn't got a forum chapter dedicated to GPRS yet, I've posted it here... ---
After an extremely long trail & error period, I've finally figured it out :
Step 1 :
- call the T-Mobile Helpdesk, and have them send you the message which auto-installs the T-Zones GPRS settings needed on your SLVR L7 (they will call it an SMS, but it will appear on your phone as a 'Browser Msg')
...make sure you have pen and paper ready to write down the PIN-code you will need to install the settings-message
Step 2 :
- download (and install !!) the Motorola 3G and/or Motorola GPRS scripts you can find on Ross Barkman's page :
http://www.taniwha.org.uk/
...and buy Ross a virtual beer to thank him...
Step 3 :
- connect your SLVR L7 to your Mac using a mini-USB-to-USB-cable
Step 4 :
- in System Prefs / Network / Network Port Configs activate the new port "Motorola Phone (L7)", and configure it :
under the PPP-tab :
- Service Provider : ... [anything you like, e.g. "internet using GSM"]
- Account Name : tmobile
- Password : tmobile
- Tel. Number : internet
- Alt. Number : [none]
- Save Password : On
Under the PPP / PPP Options-tab :
- all Session Options : ... [whatever you like]
- all Advanced Options : Off [if you wish you can leave Verbose Logging on, but do turn off all other options]
Under the TCP/IP-tab :
- Configure IPv4 : Using PPP
- leave everything else blank
Under the Proxies-tab :
- leave everything blank
Under the Modem-tab :
- Modem : Motorola 3G CID1 ("Motorola 3G CID2", "Motorola GPRS CID1 57k" and "Motorola GPRS CID1 57k +CGQREQ" will also work, and maybe some others too...)
- Error Correction & Compression : Off
- Wait For Dail Tone : Off
- Dailing : Tone
- Sound : Off
- Modem Status in Menu Bar : On
...and don't forget to click "Apply Now"
Step 4 :
- click on the modem-icon in the menu-bar (the telephone-horn with the adshed line next to it)
- first click "Show time connected" and "Show status while connecting" in the pull down menu
- then click "Connect", and your GPRS-connection is being established...
As a check you should see "GPRS Active" in your SLVR's screen.
...and to disconnect go to the modem-icon in the menu-bar and select "Disconnect"
Good Luck !!
