this question can best be answered via inspection :-) On Mon, 29 Oct 2001, Alexey Koptsevich wrote: > > Hello, > > I am going to purchase GSM mobile phone with GRPS.

Any software needed for it? here is my heuristic. 1. does the phone require extra sw installed to work with a windoze box? this is not a good sign. 2. does the sw do nothing but add a new entry in the serial list? this is a good sign that counteracts the effects of item 1. this is the case with the SprintPCS Wireless Web Connectivity Kit. They used to sell the kit for us$95.00, now they sell it for us$55.00. sanyo sells the serial cable for my phone for us$50.00 so, if it's just supposed to work without any special installation. than you should be fine, other than the fact that you will learn alot about your FreeBSD serial port before you can get hooked up > Unfortunately, have not found GRPS mentioned in this list... > > Thanks, > Alex > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message > -- John L.
