internet access on solaris 10 through tata indicom wireless phone
hi,
i am trying to configure solaris 10 for internet connection.
i have a pc (celeron 1.7ghz, 512 mb ram, gigabyte 8ld motherboard).
the wireless telephone specs are:
tata indicom walky.
further product details are as follows ( i did not understand most of what it says. i have given it here in case some of the experienced users probably would decipher this )
it an axxestel model axw-p800. it a cdma 1xrtt fixed wireless phone that has the frequency range: tx: 824~849mhz and rx:869 ~ 894mhz.
it has a channel bandwidth cdma 1.25mhz.
the internet access cable provided with the phone is a parallel cable, one end goes in the wireless phone and the other in the computer. the cd provided with the cable has windows only software and hence i was able to get it to work, since it merely was a matter of a few clicks.
i referred the "configuring high-speed dialup on solaris 7 and solaris 8" on
www.kempston.net/ and got to the part where i had to type
# tip /dev/cua/a
upon typing this command, i got the connected message, but then i could not type anything after that. the document suggests that i should type atz, but the terminal would not accept any input from the keyboard. so i tried opening a new window and tried, but the same thing happens ( i was trying these commands in gnome terminal under jds). since the admintool is not available in solaris 10, i tried using smc, and was able to get the parallel port configured for dial out as suggested. after that i tried the command mentioned above and it does not work.
i tried contacting the phone tech support, but they only support windows.
i would really be thankful if someone could guide me to a website that would show me how to get it to work.
regards,
