Ubuntu and gprs connectivity

[Samuel Mukoti]

Yes,
M quite excited about though with GPRS my experience over the last  
6momths or so I've noted it's about the same speed as dial-up.

I'll have a look when I get my hands on a phone with a better  
bluetooth stack (currently using an iPhone and it's sux when it comes  
to Bluetooth)

The setup is quite simple, you map a serial device with the hctool  
then use wvdial to dial a magic number that allows the phone to tether  
the GPRS connection to the PPP daemon.

Will post more detailed info soon..
