T68 GPRS connection fails to disconnect


the only thing I can do is to restart the PowerBook...

When I am at a conference (which doesn't have wireless access) I often use my T68 and a GPRS connection to access the internet. The T68 communicates with the PowerBook via Bluetooth. Once setup it is quite a simple system, plug in the Bluetooth module, using Internet Connect on the menu bar to change the modem to bluetooth-modem and click connect. Sometimes the connection is very stable and sometimes it isn't. Usually the PowerBook disconnects and then I can re-connect.

However sometimes when the PowerBook disconnects it doesn't do it properly and therefore Internet Connect just hangs and continues to say disconnecting and never finishes.... the only solution is to switch off and restart the PowerBook. Forcing Internet Connect to quit doesn't solve the problem.



I find it very rare that Mac OS X crashes, but I haven't quite figured whether this is a Mac issue, a phone issue or a Bluetooth issue. I have less problems with the Sony VAIO and a similar setup and therefore I think (for once) it is a Mac OS X issue.
