No, but I found a way to pull it up:

Start: run: telephone.cpl: ok

This pulls up the right options window.

Unfortunately I need to investigate further which numbers need to be added for my carrier as 777 95 or 99 didn't work for me. I am on e-plus in germany, will keep this thread updated for other lost german users...

Damn... Telephon:cpl (note the missing e at the end of telephone)

oxide-tones · #55 10-17-2006 -

ok, so for all german eplus users out there:

APN: internet.eplus.de
name: eplus
pw: gprs
number: *99***1#

This seems to work fine... but I get an error message: error 692, hardware error in modem. anyone know how to fix this?

Help! I've tried all the detailed instructions and can't seem to get connected via 7105t. The error code I get is "Error777: The connection attempt failed because the modem (or other connecting device) on the remote computer is out of order"

This is after I installed Blackberry desktop 4.1 and confirmed the blackberry is connected. I have followed the instructions noted in this thread but am DOA...

Also confused about the login and password...does this refer to my T-mobile login and password....it says to leave blank....tried that with same result......HELP..please.

Thanks in advance. c
