[ale] Did It!!

Hey out there...not 
a major step, but a hint in the "right" direction.

I am a server admin 
working on our company's GPRS project.?? They wanted a server for testing 
and were about to use a NT box to setup to test with.?? So.....after a quick 
discussion with our engineering dept., I talked them into allowing me to use 
that NT box and make it a Linux box for testing.??

1 - I get to wipe 
Windows off a computer @ work -- bonus.?? 
2 -?? I will be 
making a FTP, Telnet, Apache, WAP server on that.

I've never done WAP 
scripting before, but since I get to start @ the bottom floor of this GPRS 
thing, and am new to the wireless industry, it'll be a good experience.??

So, in a matter of 
speaking....I guess Linux made it's way into the wireless GPRS world (even if 
it's just for testing).??

But, as James 
said...."Changing the mobile computing world, one Linux user at a time."?? I 
am trying my personal time to get the GPRS phones working with Linux, just to 
see if I can get it done.?? One brand we have, I am thinking won't be too 
hard...but I do have a question:
<FONT face=Arial

If I connect to a 
serial port, and usually have to put the init strings in manually anyway....in 
theory, should I be able to use that along w/ PPP? (via minicom or something 
similar)

Have fun 
all.
