    Anyone know how to utilize Cingular's proxy server with a PC card/EDGE
    network? I know how to connect to WAP ([email protected]), and I can
    set the proxy in my browser to use proxy:wireless.cingular.com, port
    80. But, when I connect to a website, like Google, the browser wants to
    download a file type of wml. Other sites just display garbage on the
    screen.

    The reason I want to try this is because I get around 140-160 kbps on
    my PC card, but 180-200 kbps on my phone. The phone utilizes the proxy.
    The PC card is using [email protected].

    Thanks

    That because it's a WML/WAP proxy, which only works with a WAP browser
    (e.g., Microsoft Mobile Explorer 3.0).

    The proxy shouldn't have any real bearing on network speed. What it
    does is reduce the amount of data traffic.

    The Google WAP proxy is an alternative that works better with regular
    browsers.

    That would be faster with [email protected] -- see Data
    Acceleration in the FAQ below.

    I've never noticed much of a difference when using ISPDA. You have any
    statistics from your experience?

    Cingular's Data Acceleration (DA) uses compression to improve the
    throughput of web (HTTP) and email (POP3, IMAP) downlink traffic. The
    primary benefit seems to come from greatly compressing graphics; the
    visual result is significantly degraded, but still quite usable, and
    the performane boost is substantial, on the order of 2x for typical
    graphics-heavy web pages. In addition, compressible email attachments
    larger than 8K bytes are compressed into .CAB files, which raise some
    possible issues (e.g., with anti-virus scanning), but I personally
    haven't found it to be a problem. Overall, DA works well enough that
    I normally use it rather than a raw connection.

    I don't see any difference at all in speed or in graphic resolution.
    I'm using a Dial-up Network Connection and connecting to ISPDA. I've
    also used the Sierra Watcher. Any other settings which need to happen?

    DA works on GPRS/EGPRS(EDGE), not CSD.

    Correct. I'm not using CSD. It's a XP Dial-up connection using the
    Sierra card as a modem, connecting to EDGE. Same performance as using
    Watcher or Communications Manager.
