That's a bad signal ;-( > It comes with a mini CD that has all windows stuff. The laptop on this > network still has XP on it, but it is such a drag :-( That's the usual but what does the manual say on this and how about the phone technical specs? OTOH, wammu/gammu cell phone database lists yours as supported (at least at a certain degree¹) so maybe you need a special cable or you need to set some configuration within the phone before :-? ¹http://wammu.eu/phones/alcatel/3904/ Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
