To get Pipex set up with an EPOC device (I have tried a Revo and a netBook - others will be similar), two things need setting up - talking to the Nokia 7110, and using the Pipex GSM node on Vodafone. Please note that I am not an expert on this kind of thing - so you use these settings at your own risk. The things we need to do are:
First set up a new Modem. You should use this modem only when dialing a Pipex GSM node. Create another modem entry with the same settings, except leave the Data init. string blank, if you want to use your Nokia 7110 for regular data access.

Modem |
|
| Name: | Nokia 7110 (Pipex GSM) |
| Note: Can be anything you like | |
| Speed: | 19200 baud |
| Connect via: | Infrared |
| Fax class: | Auto |
|
Options (As default) |
|
| Loudspeaker in use: | Until call answered |

|
Initialization |
|
| Init (reset) string: | AT&F&K4 |
| Note: This resets the Nokia 7110 for each connection | |
| Data init . string: | AT+CBST=71,0,1 |
| Note: This tells the Nokia 7110 to use UDI (V.110) protocols to talk to the Pipex modem. Older phones might use ATS35=0 or AT+MS=11 instead. | |
| Fax init. string: | Leave blank |
|
Advanced |
|
| Flow control: | Hardware (RTS/CTS) |
| Terminal Detect (DSR/DTR): | Ticked |
| Carrier detect (DCD): | Ticked |
| Modem Type: | Mobile |
After creating a new service using 'Standard Settings', there are three sections to change to customise it for Pipex Dial:
|
Service |
|
| Use "smart" dialing: | Leave blank |
| Standard dial-up number: | 976976 |
|
Account |
|
| Manual login: | Leave blank |
| Username: | solxyz98 |
| Note: xyz98 should be replaced with your Pipex login id (as used for email). For regular dial-up to 0845 0795068 you should use UK/solxyz98. | |
|
Addresses |
|
| The changes in this section are optional, but I have found that they improve reliability | |
| Get DNS address from server: | Leave blank |
| Primary DNS address: | 158.43.240.3 |
| Secondary DNS address: | 158.43.240.4 |
Other options on these and other tabs should be left at their defaults.
