RE : Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] GPRS connection API
There is a major difference between serial port connection and GPRS connection: The GPRS connection involves the APN as connection parameter in addition to the port name and the ip address...

My question: Is there a java API for the GPRS connection? AFAIK, there is no dedicated GPRS API. Instead, you can use Java Comm API [1] and issue AT commands to GPRS modem manually to establish and control connection. After connection is established, you can use sockets to exchange data. That's the common solution I'm aware of.
