Unfortunately, the location where I got it seems to be offline, but you'll have to search for it. The first order of business was to find the software. This isn't saying much, I don't know when the last patch was released for Windows 2000 but it's a lightweight operating system that can run the few Windows apps that I am ever tempted to launch. Even BitPIM wouldn't help me here.Īll of the Windows operations were done within Parallels Desktop on a small Windows 2000 partition with all the latest patches. Two things were required: A Data Cable, and the proprietary software from Qualcomm (called QPST) for changing the phone's settings. I did a quick bit of research, and found that the phone has some internal IDs that differ when used for DUN. The connection would be refused with an invalid login and password, even though my login and password were fine when using my e815. My MacBook saw it, but I wasn't getting anywhere.

My MacBook could see it as a bluetooth modem with surprisingly quick download speed nonetheless - at times upwards of 1mbit/sec. A quick punch-of-numbers on the keypad and voila. Whatever the reason, I enjoyed this functionality. Other times, I'll be on a commuter bus and have the burning desire to check the news, or do some research on something really quick. Inevitably, the pager-of-doom goes off and I'm out at the lake camping or at a location where there's no obvious Internet connection available. I didn't necessarily use it a lot, but as a sysadmin that's always been a bit of a road warrior, I often find myself places where there simply is no Internet. One of the things I kind of relied on my Motorola e815 for was dial-up networking (DUN) via bluetooth. In short, HiR isn't responsible if you get in trouble with the law or your service provider, get a virus from a russian s3ri4lz site, get somehow addicted to running Windows, or brick your shiny new gadget. To top it all off, it also involves software that interacts with your mobile phone at a very low level. 3.Įditor's note: this particular article involves downloading and installing software from un-trusted web site.
