My university has a dialup system for remote access to their network and whatnot and I've been trying to use my phone as a Bluetooth modem and connect my PocketPC to the internet that way.
That being said, I don't need help with the phone part or anything like that... my issue appears to be with the network end of things.
The dialup system they have is rather odd and you dial the number without a login and password, and then use a Terminal screen to log in. Once you do that, the instructions state to type in "ppp" to enable peer-to-peer mode, which will allow net access. Whenever I type in "ppp", this happens:
Local>ppp
Entering PPP mode.

NO CARRIER
Immediately after I type in "ppp", it starts printing out that random gibbrish and then the call is dropped a few seconds later. The very weird thing is that when I close the terminal after typing in "ppp" (immediately after I type it in), I can browse and everything... most of the time. As long as I'm constantly reciving "different" data (i.e. from different sections of a webpage, changing sites every few seconds, etc.) it stays connected. The second I try and check my e-mail or download a file (something that only connects to one server for an extended period of time and since it's only a 14.4K connection since it's via a cell phone, it all takes a while), it drops the connection after 30 or so seconds.
Does anyone have any idea why the connection gets dropped for these seemingly random reasons and what I can do to remedy it? I would try dialing in on my desktop to see if it's something with my PocketPC, but my desktop doesn't have Bluetooth.
