Hello All,
I am thinking about migrating to the 115 kbps r-connect internet service through a fwp. I liked the iphone's speed but it is usb and works on windows. I have a few questions.
1. According to those of you who have used reliance's fwp for r-connect on linux, what would be the best option for top speed and linux compatibility; the older one with serial cable or the iphone with usb cable or older one with usb cable?
2. Can the serial cable version be setup without drivers in kppp just like an external modem is setup?
3. Does its dialler work in the gui mode like kppp or it has to be controlled through cli only?
4. Which linux flavours have you tried it on?
Regards,
Rony.

What are the user experiences for the serial and usb cable phones? Anyone on this group using Reliance fwp?

I use RConnect with an LG RD 2130 mobile, that functions as a serial modem, connected to my laptop with a USB connection via a USB-to-Serial cable, and I connect using KPPP.
More info on how I connect to RConnect using KPPP here: http://www.rimweb.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=3822

Thanks for the link. It explains everything in a nice simple way. Are you using 2130 or 5130, the one with a colour display? 2130 has R-World but not R-Connect as per the website.

I have been using the 2130 (Java-powered, moonlight phone) since July last year. It supports the full range of R-World services, as well as RConnect. Even the firmware is as I got it from RIM (didn't upgrade it).
One more thing, vendors such as RIM, sometimes "omit" to mention features of handsets, to influence your purchase decision in favour of other handsets. Better ask users to for factual information: http://www.rimweb.com/forums
The official (forever in "beta") RConnect connection software from the official RIM web site turned out to be a dud (didn't work), since it didn't even detect the serial phone connected on the USB port.
BTW if you have a 5130, the procedure is the same as the RConnect procedure I've put up for 2130.
