    I have a T 39 which works well in marginal reception areas that more modern
    phones have trouble with.
    I understand that I can connect my laptop to the internet with it but I am very
    unsure of how.
    I can connect the phone either by data cable or bluetooth if I so equip my
    laptop.
    Which will give me the better connection ?
    As I use aol can I just dialup the local number or do I need to load some
    special software and use gprs ? I have loads of minutes on Cingular and
    would like to use them this way.
    Can anyone advise me or point me to a website that can help ?

    mant thanks,
    Steve

    Hello!

    I don't know about Aol but some hints to connect in general:

    1) I use bluetooth and it works very well. You need to pair both devices.
    Then you should have a "DUN-Bluetooth Profile". There you set up you
    connection to your Internet Provider. (I guess usually *99***X" as phone
    number. X stands for the GPRS Profile you created on your T39 for
    Internetconection).
    There are some other things to configure - depending on your Internet
    Provider (DNS, IP, Username, Password...)

    If this is done - there should be a new conecction for Dial up Services at
    you Windows. (I assume you use Windows). Double click it and you should be
    online.
    Sounds complicated, but it trully isn't.

    2) cable should work as well. It won't consume as much energy as bluetooth
    does.

    3) you could also use Infrared. Just install a new standard modem. (If you
    install the t39 software you can also select T39 Infrared Modem) and dieal
    your GPRS number (*99***X) - finish

    4) good luck, hope it helps. enjoy

    5) you are right, T39 is a superb phone.
