That sounds like a very reasonable response. > The laptop does > not receive an IP address. Did you try to use a dialer (such as pppd or one of its frontends) ? If you did, then please provide more details about what you tried and what errors did you get. > Has anyone succesfully connected a > computer to the Internet via Cellcom through a Nokia 6100 cell phone? From your description it seems like you expect Minicom to be a dialer, but it is only a "dumb terminal" program. I haven't used that specific handset with cellcom, but I've used a siemens ME45 over IRDA with cellcom, and various Nokias (including the 6100) over serial, USB, IRDA and bluetooth to Orange, and never had a problem. I've used many dialer frontends, but I found wvdial to be the easiest to setup and use (albeit its console based). -- Oded ::..
