Re: Nokia Cardphone 2.0

[mpascher@t-online.de (Maximilian Pascher)]

My cardphone works now... The module was not properly compiled. I added it 
directly to my kernel now:-) You don't need the patch any more...
You can use the phone nearly as good as with this useless dos-extension 
("Windows") the nokia drivers are written for. The only problem is, that I 
don't know how to answer calls. It is no problem to place a call, send sms 
etc., but telling the phone to answer a call isn't possible with any software 
I found...
Dialing in works now too (I still haven't tried fast connections...) The only 
problem is, that I don't know how to configure my network to use the ppp 
connection instead of my normally used Ethernet... When I dial in and try to 
get my email it does nothing...
I feel quite ashame to ask that, but can anybody tell me how that works?:-) I 
haven't used a modem of any kind for years... ;-)

Thanks

Max
