I have what appears to be an unworkable situation.
I have two iPAQs .... an H5550 and an H4150, that I use on a regular basis, and travel with them very often internationally.
I will talk about the situation as if it only concerned one unit since the problem is the same with both.
When traveling I use the ATT Global eMail client to access my eMail on my ISPs POP3 server. Both iPAQs are configured to use the Socket Bluetooth Modem. This has been working well with both units, and I have been able to access my eMail easily with both units. With the H5550 I also have the Compaq PC casd modem which I can use in the auxillary sleeve if need be.
I recently upgraded my mobile phone to a Motorola Razr V3, which is capable of being used as a bluetooth modem. It was quite easy to set up both units so that the iPAQ was able to pair with the phone, and dial out as a modem. This is where the problem starts.
Both units are set up as a Modem in the iPAQ settings. If I go into the advanved settings, and try to connect manually, regardless of which modem I try to connect with, the unit will always try to connect with the last "bluetooth modem" that I used. I have set up two different profiles, but the iPAQ trys to connect with the last device used. In order to use the other "modem" I must manually go into the Bluetooth manager, and manuall search for the "modem" I want to use, and manually connect. At that time that modem will be the only one that I can use until I repeat the proceedure. All of this does work except for the fact that it is a royal pain in the butt.
The real problem is that when trying to use the ATT client, even if I switch profiles to access either modem, it will only try to connect to the last one used.
When paring the modems, the Socket modem is set up as a modem with dial up networking. The Razr is set up as "Dialing through a bluetooth phone". This is correct, and there is no way of changing this anyway since this is the way the drivers are set up.
Is it possible that the Mobile 2003 operating system can only be configured for one bluetooth "modem" at a time?
Any Suggestions?
TIA
