There's also a list of IAPs from various network
operators, which can normaly also be used by roaming users at no charge
except for the airtime:
| Basics |
| GSM data services |
|
Unlike on normal telephone lines, on the GSM network you can't automatically
place and receive data calls just because you can do it with voice calls.
Outgoing and incoming data and fax calls are seperate services which have
to be enabled by the GSM network. Most providers (at least all 4 german
ones meanwhile, D1 since 1999/4/1) have outgoing data and fax services enabled on all their
"normal" contracts and usually disabled on the prepaid cards, so you possibly
already have everything you need.
Incoming data and fax is usually an extra service for which an additional
fee is charged - you also get an extra number for each incoming service. But
while incoming faxes are quite nice on the 9K (you can receive, view,
resend and print faxes - but be aware, they eat a lot of your RAM) I haven't found a usefull application for
incoming data calls using the 9K as a stand alone device. It might be usefull
when connected to a notebook to use call-back authentification.

| Analog and ISDN connections |
|
There are two different ways the connection to your ISP can be established: analog (V32, V34, it depends on your GSM network what is used) or ISDN (V.110).
The bitrate to your communicator always is 9600bps, even if for example the
connection from the GSM network to the ISP is a 28k8 V34 modem link (that
actually is the case with analog calls through VIAG Interkom in germany).
There already is a standard for 14400bps GSM connections which is
supported by the 9110, but AFAIK no GSM network offers it so far.
Generally an ISDN connection is
better as it needs less time to connect and doesn't have the problems of
an analog connection - the GSM network for it's own is unstable enough :> The problem
with V.110 is that not many "normal" ISPs support it, as it's pretty
uncommon in non-mobile environments. If your ISP supports it, you can
enable it with the init-string ATS35=0 on the 9K.

| German GSM provider's own IAPs |
| D2 / Mannesmann |
|
URL: German
D2 has a free IAP for everybody using the D2 network including roaming users,
which is accessible without an application and free of additional costs.
In fact for D2-contracts the access-number is covered by the "Data Night" so access is
possible at only 19Pf/Minute from 22:00 to 06:00, and of course it supports V.110 ISDN
connections which saves some time, especially nice for shot sessions like
sending e-mail.
To configure D2
Internet on your Communicator create a new ISP with the following
settings (the user ID and password can be anything).
Name: D2-Internet
Telefonummer/Phone number: +49172229000
Benutzerkennung/User name: anything
Kennwort/Password: anything
Erweiterte Einstellungen:
Modeminitialisierung: S35=0
That should be it :) The only drawback of D2-Internet IMHO is, that
with the new D2 BestCitySpecial from 99/05/01 on it will be much cheaper
to call an ISP in the city you're currently in - so at least in your
home-town it might make sense to search for an ISP suitable for your
Communicator.
Tested services: WWW, telnet, SMTP, POP (only local so far), IMAP, FTP

| E2 / VIAG Interkom |
|
Also the newcomer VIAG has an own IAP for it's mobile users. According to
the hotline (not verified so far, I haven't got a single bill for my
viag card so far :) it's 29Pf/min 24h/day - which is especially cheap
during daytime where D2-Internet users pay 69Pf/min. As for D2-Internet
no application is needed and there are no additional fees for setup
or something like that.
To configure VIAG internet on your communicator create a new ISP with the following
settings
Name: VIAG
Telefonummer/Phone number: 464638 (that's GO INET by the way :)
Benutzerkennung/User name: go@mobil.de
Kennwort/Password: internet
No additional settings are needed as VIAG's IAP currently does not support
V.110 and the nameservers are assigned dynamically.

| Czech Republic / Eurotel |

Eurotel offers a internet-dialin with V.110 support for all local and roaming users. Access is charged at a "premium" rate, so expect to find prices a bit higher than the ones for "network internal" calls on your roaming bill, but it wasn't too extreme when I visited Prague this summer. Generally it seems to be very cheap in the evening... Use the following settings on your Communicator:
