    Hi,

    Can anyone tell me how I can configure the GP edge connection using an edge modem on mac (mac book pro) ?

    I have sent GP a mail about this – but they haven’t replied. I just don’t want to buy a modem and then get stuck with it….

    Anin.

    I am going to use edge via usb modem in Linux (Debian). Can any one tell me what should I do.

  10. lavluda Says:

    @enamul: after adding the usb modem, just install the wvdail package from your linux installation cd, then follow the instruction i wrote on this post.

  11. habib Says:

    It’s not working for me..How you will dial. GP does not get any user name and password..So when you provide xyz for both user name and password it says subscripe your packet data first..But it is working fine in Vista..
