[ILUG] [way OT] palm pilot connecting to ISP via Irda mobile

[Garret Flynn]

Also
Make sure you its not a comms problem between the palm and the mobile.
Get a terminal emulator and make sure you can get the mobile to respond to 
AT commands .Set the terminal emulator to connect to serial (set the
serial to infrared instead of cradle in the "serial/ir" part of the
pilots perferances program.)

Then try typing something like
atz 
which should of course should get an OK reply.
If that much works try atdt,1891,(what ever indigos number is)
and see if it connects you may need to play around with init strings to
get the mobile to talk to indigo modems.
