Hi!
Here's my equipment setup and settings to access POP/SMTP via
VoiceStream iStream (GPRS), findings and questions are presented at
the end.
Devices:
- Ericsson T39m mobile phone
- Handspring Visor Edge (PalmOS)
- Red-M Bluetooth springboard module
(BT ver. 1.1 so should do WAP over GPRS)
E-mail clients:
- Ericsson T39m built-in POP/SMTP client
- Eudora Mail for PalmOS
POP/SMTP service providers (SP):
- SP1 only provides remote POP
- SP2 provides remote SMTP via port 25 and an alternate port
Settings:
** T39m **
Settings -> Data comm. -> Data accounts
Data account name: GPRS e-mail IP
CID=1 (in this case)
APN: internet2.voicestream.com
User id: [blank]
Password: [blank]
Passwd request: off
Allow calls: Automatic
IP address: [blank]
DNS address: [blank]
-> Advan. settings
Authentication: none
Data compr.: off
Header compr.: off
-> Quality of serv.
Precedence: normal
Delay: best effort
Reliability: class 3
Peak rate: subscribed
Mean rate: subscribed
** Handspring Visor Edge (PalmOS) **
1) Network settings
Service: GPRS e-mail IP
User Name: [blank]
Password: [1 space so it displays as "assigned"]
Connection: BT T39m GPRS (see connection setting below)
Phone: *99***1# ("1" because the CID=1)
->Details
Connection Type: PPP
Idle Timeout: Power Off
Query DNS: [unchecked]
Primary DNS: 216.155.175.105
Secondary DNS: 216.155.175.106
IP Address: Automatic [checked]
Script: [blank]
2) Connection setting
Name: BT T39m GPRS
Connection Method: Bt Dialup to Modem
Dialing: TouchTone(TM)
Volume: off
-> Details
Speed: 115,200 bps
Country: United States
Flow Ctl: Automatic
Init String: [blank]
** E-mail Client Configuration (general) **
POP server: use server's IP# instead of server name
SMTP server: use server's IP# instead of server name
- SMTP server must allow remote access
- My SMTP provider offers an alternate port to work-around port
blocking
- In Eudora, I append the alternate port to the SMTP IP with a colon
(i.e., "IP:port" like "218.045.567.345:8952" for example)
Findings:
With Eudora Mail, I can do POP and SMTP, no problem.
With the T39m e-mail client, I can do POP but SMTP has been failing
today, finds the SMTP server but fails, don't understand why. SMTP on
the T39m has worked for me before. I just don't get it.
Next steps:
Work on a setup with DNS numbers, either I've been doing something
really wrong with my DNS settings or VoiceStream's DNS servers are
screwed up.
Once I have DNS sorted out, I hope the rest should be easy...
- WAP browsing on PDA
- HTML/cHTML browsing on PDA
Any advice would be really appreciated.
