Hello,
I wonder if anyone had any luck in using TomTom's LIVE gprs connection
as a mean to get to the Internet. A very interesting use could be
tracking TomTom's position by sending updates to a remote server, or
polling them directly from TomTom's gps device.
Regards,
In an abstract environment, internet can be configured over any device,
be it eth, bluetooth, gprs, 3G ...
Look at the ifconfig cmd to send packets over.
In DOS, they copied that command ;-)

IFCONFIG(8) Linux Programmer's Manual
IFCONFIG(8)
NAME
ifconfig - configure a network interface
SYNOPSIS
ifconfig [-v] [-a] [-s] [interface]
ifconfig [-v] interface [aftype] options | address ...
DESCRIPTION
Ifconfig is used to configure the kernel-resident network
interfaces. It is used at boot time to set up
interfaces as necessary. After that, it is usually only needed
when debugging or when system tuning is
needed.
If no arguments are given, ifconfig displays the status of the
currently active interfaces. If a single
interface argument is given, it displays the status of the given
interface only; if a single -a argument
is given, it displays the status of all interfaces, even those
that are down. Otherwise, it configures
an interface.
Address Families
If the first argument after the interface name is recognized as
the name of a supported address family,
that address family is used for decoding and displaying all
protocol addresses. Currently supported
address families include inet (TCP/IP, default), inet6 (IPv6),
ax25 (AMPR Packet Radio), ddp (Appletalk
Phase 2), ipx (Novell IPX) and netrom (AMPR Packet radio).
OPTIONS
-a display all interfaces which are currently available,
even if down
-s display a short list (like netstat -i)
-v be more verbose for some error conditions
