I'm able to use the 8700c as a modem without any problem using the same configuration I used for my 7290. However, I top out at 115kbs. It's seems that this may be a limitation of the COM port.

Any idea why some people are getting increased speeds?

Could you list the steps to utilize the BB as a modem?

Thanks in Advance

Follow the steps in the FAQ. Works exactly as listed.

Which FAQ are you referencing?

Just found the FAQ, here it is

I used "+cgdcont=1,"IP","WAP.CINGULAR": as the Extra Initialization Commands.

I also disabled Flow Control.
