GSM+GPRS Modem

[coke]

I'm creating an app using a Symbol PDT Scanner.

Why can I connect to GSM modem and make a GPRS link to Internet?

Anyone can help me?

To create a GPRS connection you must first determine one thing - will your
app make and destroy the connection, or just make it?
If just make, go through Settings-Connections-> ... -> and make a GPRS
connection using the right comm port (ie on an 2837 or 8137 it's Com9 for a
GPRS connection), *99# in my experience for the phone number and your telco
specific settings in the extra dial string commands. To use this
connection, try to go to the web - it should start up the connection for
you.
If your app must control, then repeat the setting up instructions. However,
instaed of hoping the OS will start the connection for you, either find
someone who has already wrapped the RAS commands for you or create your own
dll that wraps the RAS commands (RAS commands have not be .NETed last time I
checked). Using the RAS commands you can specifically create and destroy
any communication setting that has been entered on to the unit.

Or you can use the OpenNETCF.org ConnectionManager stuff to dial and hangug
the default internet connection (Smart Device Framework v1.0 on their web
site)

I havn't checked OpenNETCF lately. Thanks for letting me know.
