Anyone any idea how to set up Tesco GPRS (using a Palm and T68i through IR/BT)? I can't find the APN settings etc. anywhere. Thanks, Bri

Thanks, that's very helpful but I need a lot more info e.g. init string and some script.

There are various tutorials on this subject - but the basics go something like this.

I am assuming that you already have GPRS set up and usable on the handset. I am also assuming that the O2 setup is similar to Orange that I use.

On the handset examine the data accounts to find the one you need to use. On orange it has the APM "orangeinternet".

For each data account there is a "CID" number - on my handset orangeinternet is CID=6.

Assuming that you can persuade the Palm to use the T68i as a modem, give it the dialstring "*99***n#" where n is the number determined above.

You should not need any init strings - these strings only confuse matters and provide no more information than the dialstring I just gave.

Good luck
