Hi All

I bought an Asus eee pc (Linux)to use when traveling and doing quotes on site.

But I cannot get the Asus to connect via my Sony Ericson/Vodacom.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

LOL ... there must be a script to do it. I'm to lazy to do a search for it.

I assume you want to use your phone as a modem, possibly 3G connectivity?

Two of my colleagues have them - one the smaller screen and one the bigger screen. The phone integration would be the same as on any other PC with linux on.

I compiled my own how to for using phones as GPRS modems in Ubuntu, unfortunately I lost it when my HDD crashed. I also can't remember how to do it off by heart anymore.

Yes. that is the plan.

I want to connect, sent an email and disconnect.
