I originally posted this on alt.cellular.cingular, but perhaps it
might be more appropriate here:

I used to use the Medianet unlimited package (on an Edge phone) from
At&t/Cingular to get an internet connection from my laptop when I
traveled. I haven't used it in more than a year, but an upcoming trip
has me trying to get my new Vista laptop configured to use it.

I've read through the FAQs and configured it the same way that I
always did using a userID of WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM and a password of
CINGULAR1. When I try to connect, I get an 'error 734 the PPP link
control protocol was terminated'. I did a search for this error and it
seems to indicate that the userid or password is incorrect.

My old laptop is still around and I tried it from there using my old
configuration that used to work. I get the same error.

I'm wondering if AT&T/Cingular has changed the userid or password. Or,
perhaps, they have blocked Media Net users from doing what I am trying
to do. I'm not going to spend the money for an expensive data plan
since my usage is pretty small.

Does anyone have this working?
