And the innocent users. I've not forgotten the week when I was on holiday in the wilds of Scotland with my Psion 5 + mobile phone as my only email contact. I was suddenly getting 2000 bounce messages a day and could not even download the *headers* as fast as they were coming in.

I had to ring my ISP to get them to delete *all* my email each day and that's no way to run a business :-(

Now I have filtering installed and only accept email to a whitelist of names.

In connection with bouncing and MailWasher, I contacted mailwasher to say that bouncing was a Really Bad Thing, and all they could say was that I could turn it off...

Cheers for the advice guys. All seems to have gone reasonably smoothly. Strangely the XP upgrade seems to have fixed the "Back up everything when the clocks change" problem...

Inan earlier digest somebody mentioned "Mobile Connectivity Update 2.00", my 5mx claims to have "Mobile Connectivity Update 1.10", should I be upgrading? Where do I get the upgrade?

Cheers for all the good stuff

Hi Mike,

Thanks for your answer and would appreciate your help by dusting off the REVO+.    I used the T610 without any problems. However, this phone works differently and does not have the separation between "web" and "wap" and does not need a setting in the internet connection called "internet". The P910 works differently.

Yes, Mike Mcconnell is a good idea, I will ask him.

>> You shouldn't be entering 'Internet' apn anywhere on your netbook <<

Well, the netBook somehow has to tell the P910 that it wants to connect to the internet and not to wap, and you can't set this on the P910 itself (stupid !). You can choose the internet connection for connecting ON the P910 to the internet and that works without problems. However, I want to do some serious work in the evenings in my hotel room which I cannot do on the P910 and also need the large screen to read faxes that came into the office.

Thanks for any help you can give.

Best regards,

Itamar

Subject: P910 modem settings - succeeded !!

Hi Mike and others,

I finally succeeded after a lot of trials and errors. I did look at the website of Mike McConnell and noticed the advice to go into COMMS and type the command "AT+cgdcont?" which gives a list of all the available contexts on the phone. I noticed from the list that 5, 7 and 8 were called "internet".

I tried all of them with the +cgdcont command with and without AT in from ot it and did a lot of soft resets <G>. Looking further at the settings of the Psion for Sony-Ericsson phones I changed things around until suddenly it worked. So the settings are :

Modem :
----------
Name      GPRS  (you can of course give any name you want)
Speed   115200
Connection type    infrared

Loudspeaker in use   never
Volume                   quiet
Pause time                   4 sec

Init string                 ATZ
Data string            EMPTY  (nothing !!)
Fax string             EMPTY

Flow control          none
Terminal detect      not ticked
Carrier detect        not ticked
Modem type          mobile


Internet : (vodaphone UK)
-------------
Connection type    Dial up
Smart dialing        not ticked
Dial no.               *99***5#

Account               web
Username             web

Addresses            Both set to get from server

Login                    empty

Advanced             only tick allow plain text authentication

Well, if you read this message you will know it works as I will send this message via GPRS and the P910 <G>.

Best regards and thanks for the help,

Apparently, there is a small current leak in the 5mx which will put a very small charge into the internal batteries. Not enough to be really useful if you normally use your Psion away from external power, but enough to keep NiMH cells from self-discharging (as they normally do) if you mostly keep your Psion connected.

Does this mean that the P910 can actually talk to external serial devices like GPS receivers etc?

Subject: Copying Contacts,

Answer to: Ian Chapple & Marcus von Cube

Re.: Copying Contacts - Ok, I will export a contact of mine and send you the file. Have a look at it with the Hexeditor and let me and the digest know whether the data are there or not. If they are there, the next question would than be why it does not import correctly in the P910 contacts (this is now all theoretical, I have finished correcting my P910 database by hand this week).
As to Marcus, I will try and do that some time next week just out of interest.
