 |  700p as a modem Ok, please let me start off as saying PDANet or USB Modem is not an option. I have learned that EVDO is built into the 700p and this allows it to be set up as a modem without any 3rd party apps. I have tried numerous times to get this to work and it is just not happening for me. We have a Goodlink server and an unlimited data plan. I am connecting the Treo 700p to the laptop via USB. Is this my problem? In the User Manual for the Treo, it gives directions to connect via bluetooth. Is this the only way? I do not have bluetooth on my laptop. Am I sh*t out of luck? |

| If you opt not to use one of the above, then make sure you are prepared with a good plan; Sprint charges extra for this and that is a reason why I use PDANet. Ben

| Modem Bluetooth might be an option for you as well and depending whether or not you have a laptop/desktop with BT already installed you might need to get a BT adaptor cost = 20$U.S. ish the freedom of the BT is nice, I think the throughput on the USB or Tether is a little better. p |

| Modem Sorry I just reread your post... I am a little slow sometimes yeah if your laptop doesn't have BT enabled then you can buy a usb adaptor (Dongle) fairly inexpensive and amazingly easy to setup. p |

| Thank you for your replies. I work in the IT department of a law firm and I am trying to get this straightened out so the 20 + Treo users in our firm can have this capability. One of them being my boss. We have an unlimited data plan. Talking to our Sprint representative, there will be no extra fees and this should be able to work without any 3rd party apps. Incurring any extra costs to get this set up is NOT an option. I need to get this running with what I currently have. I get everything installed and the laptop sees the Treo and all tests are passed. I just cannot get to the point of actually dialing up. Error #678 is what I get every time. |
