please clarify what do you mean by "terminate request from the phone". does
it mean phone terminates Bluetooth connection? or does it mean remote PPP
peer terminate PPP session?

hmmm... you could try setup "GSM data account/profile" in your phone using
the settings above. i think once you do that you do not have to send this
string. if you have more than one "GSM data account/profile" (i.e. PPP over
GRPS and WAP over GRPS) make sure that PPP one is first. the settings should
be pretty much the same except APN.

here is from t68i AT command set
AT+CGDCONT Define PDP Context
Description: Specifies the PDP context parameter values for a PDP context
identified by the <cid> parameter.
AT+CDGCONT=[<cid>[,<pdp_type>[,<APN>[,<pdp_addr>[,<d_comp>
[,<h_comp>[,<pd1>[,...[,<pdN>]]]]]]]]]
Parameters:
<cid>: Integer; Specifies the particular PDP context definition. The parameter
is local to the TA-TE interface and is used in other PDP-context related
commands. The range of permitted values (minimum value=’1’) is
returned by the
test command.
pdpdp_type>:pdpdp_type> Description
"X25ITUTU-CCITIT X.25 layer 3
IPIP" Internet Protocol
OSPIHIH" Internet Hosted
Octet Stream Protocol
PPPPP" Point-to-Point Protocol
APNPN>: String; used to select thGGSNSN or the external packet data network.
If the value is null or is omitted, the subscription value will be requested.
pdpdp_address>: String; identifies the MT in the address space applicable to
the PDP. If the value is null or is omitted, a value may be provided by the
TE during the PDP start-up procedure or, if that fails, a dynamic address
will be requested.
<d_comp>: <d_comp> Description
0 PDP data compression OFF Default setting
1 PDP data compression ON
2-255 Reserved
<h_comp>: <h_comp> Description
0 PDP header compression OFF Default setting
1 PDP header compression ON
2-255 Reserved
pdNdN>: Zero to N string parameters whose meanings are specific to the
pdpdp_type>.

these are debug warnings. what is says is that we have receiveUIHIRFCOMMMM
frame (data) while we are in the process of disconnectinDLCICI. sUIHIH frame
was discarded.

i see. but its noBluetoothtrfcommmpppdpd related anymore - you havBluetoothth
connection to the phone.

ask your cell phone provider about "mobilinternetet" plan of something like
this. my provider (t-mobile/USA) has two plans: t-zones WAPAP oveGRPSPS and
mobilinternetet PPPPP oveGRPSPS. both use differenAPNsNs. t-zones only works
with phoneWAPAP).

Ahhhhh, thanks! I was just about to investigate if there was something like

sure give it a try and let me know if you have any problems.

great :) do not forget to send me a link :)
