Also, getting IR working under Linux can be a pain with some Ericsson phones - have to set the max speed to 19200 (IIRC), or it won't work. I use bluetooth on my t68i now; works great. Also bought one of those $3 usb->phone cables, so if my phone starts running low, I can put it on real power. :) -- Nate Carlson <natecars at real-time.com> | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.real-time.com | Fax : (952)943-8500 _______________________________________________ Twin Cities Wireless Users Group Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.tcwug.org tcwug-list at tcwug.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tcwug-list
