I’m writing this note through the phone connection, so Ross’ scripts work fine.

Immediately after installing Leopard, I was unable to connect through the phone and I had to play around a bit to get things right with the phone connection. I’m not sure it would work for you the same, but what I did was the following:

  • Removed both of my old connections (through USB and Bluetooth)
  • On the Bluetooth preference panel, deleted and paired again the phone
  • Through Bluetooth, connected to ATT/Cingular (I did this because the main symptom before was that I was unable to see the serial ports over USB to connect to the phone’s modem)
  • Then I tried connecting the USB cable, and to my surprise, this time the serial port appeared again and everything works fine

Overall, I don’t know how I fixed it… Hope this helps. Let me know if you have success. BTW - my preferred connection is through the USB cable, not BT. It charges the phone and connects me at the same time

Did you find that the modem scripts no longer work? Noticed you set up some modem scripts from Ross Barkman, and then later upgraded to Leopard. Did you find that the modem scripts no longer work?
