I've got a Nokia 8290, which has an integrated modem. I decided I wanted to be able to use this modem for wireless 'net access. So, I set it up. :) I'm using a VAIO PCG-F390 for my notebook. With the directions below, I was able to bring a link up to the Internet over my phone. First time I tried, I ended up with 5000ms ping times.. I asked the IRDA mailing list, they said to turn the 'FAST_RR' config option on, I did, now I get <1000ms pings. Still slow (9600 connect), but heck, who cares? Sure beats the display you get for 'Wireless Web' :) Also note that VoiceStream (my phone provider) does sell an option called DataStream, which adds a bunch of data-only minutes, and gives you the ability to receive faxes / data calls to your modem. But, if you don't have this option, you can still make calls -- the minutes just get subtracted like voice calls. That is _very_ nice!
