Question about BT

[dams67]

Hi,

Firstly apology for my bad english, but it' not my mother tong

I ould like to now if it's possible to connecte a 1940 to Internet by using a laptop and via bluetooth.

And if it's possible, do I have to install a new software (and which SW)?

I have another question:

Do you know if it's possible to sync a PPC 2002 (3950) with a Mac (OS 9)?? Which SW shall I use?

Cheers,

[allgire]

Yes, it is possible to connect using Bluetooth.

The following web site has some well written guides: http://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?contentid=449

Another source for information is: http://home.comcast.net/~spam-target/shares.html

There is a software package that advertises to sync with a Mac, however, I haven't used it and really don't know how well it works. http://www.pocketmac.net/pmpro3/pmpro3.html

Hope this helps.

It's piss easy to set up, although the guides make it look hard - If you need any help feel free to ask me.

Thank you tap2 and allgire for your help.

It's an interesting solution for being connected on internet everywhere in my flat without using WiFi.

I have a new question for all of you
Is WiFi popular in USA and in UK?? I mean,, do you have a lot of Hot Spot, and how much is it ?

It's in a lot of places. I have found it in small-ish towns and all over in big cities.

Many hotels, most airports. Many neighborhoods. (some people do NOT secure their personal wifi networks.) McDonalds, Starbucks, etc.

Do a city search on www.jiwire.com and you will see a lot of sites.

Cost is anywhere from free to 9.00 a day (USD).

Also, 25% of the companies I go to have WiFi, especially for their IT offices. Also, many wireless bar code systems are on 802.11b networks. And a few companies do NOT protect their networks.

So tell us about wireless availability in France/Europe.
