Hi > Would you please advise where I can find a hardware compatibility list for > GPRS and CDMA modems (or just a recommended hardware supplier/make/model(s)) > for FreeBSD? being .de based, I don't know much about CDMA apart from how it works - as of GPRS/GSM however, I can tell you that it's fully transparently usable if you have a phone with a builtin softmodem that supports the AT command set and the relevant GPRS extensions. With both my Siemens phones I can simply set different APNs with single AT commands and getting the link itself up is a matter of normal PPP dialing (number *99#). Siemens provides an excellent document containing all the supported AT commands and their syntax - you can basically control the entire phone through them. As of the connection to the PC, the usual data cables do the job, I never bothered to f*ck around with IrDA or the like. So, for me it's cu and userland ppp. Works like a charm. Cheers, J.
