For example, while I have a wireless network and can use dun on the
cellphone from any of the laptops, if I use the PDA (HP iPAQ) i can't dial
the cellphone via DUN using that, i have to do the remote host/client thing
and initiate the dial that way.. I can however use the cable to dial a 10
digit number on the cell from the PDA (just not anything starting with a
#).. That's why I assume it is the dialer on the PDA...


That is precisely the problem, and I'm glad I'm not alone :-) I can
dial any other number, as long as it is not preceeded with a # sign.

I am using a Palm 5-based Sony Clie and a Motorola v60s connected with
a DC-powered cable from TheSupplyNet. It looks like a Windows-based
dialer sends some special info to the phone via DUN, where a PDA is
lacking that ability. Maybe there is an escape character sent...

In any event, if we could collectively figure it out, we could then
take advantage of #777. Otherwise, I may just opt to invest in a
cheap dialup ISP, thus spending a little money and bypass Verizon's own
modem bank, though I'd rather keep the change ;-)

If anyone has a dialing solution to gain access to #777, please let it
be known.

Thanks.

I am doing something like this with a Zire 72 (and Zire 71 before that), which is also Palm OS 5.x, to connect via infrared to a Nokia 6236i, and it works great - much easier to set up than was Windows XP (for me - cable works fine though ;-).

In "Prefs" I defined a connection named "IrDA Modem 1x" for it with -
"Connect to: Modem", and
"Via: Infrared" (other options I see are BT and Cradle/Cable, so guessing the cradle/cable is what you need).
Under "Details" I specify an init string unique to a number of Nokias, "AT+crm=1;cso=33", which gets me on the 1x network (without a separate data plan - just have the EN for GetItNow and MobileWeb, etc.).

I then set up a Network entry specifying

Service:IrDa Modem 1x
User Name: <my 10-digit cell #>@vz3gw.com
Password: vzw
Phone: #777

and it works like a champ.

Presumably with the right init string for the V60s you should get a response to #777. It could well be the AT$QCMDR=2 for Q2N or AT$QCMDR=3 for 1xRTT mentioned by the other responders - just dunno how that phone "responds" to that sting, but I do know the AT$QCMDR=3 is useless with my Nokia, and kept getting bogus error messages about "invalid password" (thinking the AT$QCMDR=2 with user/pw = qnc/qnc did work for Q2N access when I first tried that, but then it simply may have been ignored, and the Q2N access was a default of the Nokia ...). I have read of a lot of "seam" hacking needed for Moto's, so that is beyond me (and one reason I decided to stay away from them, and do my "New/2" upgrade to yet another Nokia from a 3589i - like the new smaller bar form factor better than flip anyway ;-).

HTH,
