I have a Nokia E71 with airtel GPRS connection(Mobile Office). How do I access the net using this GPRS on my laptop running on Ubuntu 10.10 using the data cable which comes along with the phone. I have gone through this site <a href="http://www.ubuntu-in.info/wiki/GPRS_Howto" target="_blank">http://www.ubuntu-in.info/wiki/GPRS_Howto</a> , this mainly talks of using bluetooth connection and I get stuck while editing rfcomm.conf : I am unable to type the settings into the file. thanks in advance & regards Kartik -- ubuntu-in mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in</a> </blockquote></div>
