Works OK with a few issues
I am using a Sanyo 5300 with the cable I bought directly from Sanyo for $30. Like others have said, about 10 seconds after I plugged the phone into my Powerbook a dialogue box appeared declaring that a new network setting was available. I configured the PPP settings to use the username/password of web/web and to dial the number #777. I changed the Modem script to Sprint PCS Vision and that is it! Using the modem menu bar icon I choose 'Connect' and if everything is working right the phone's display changes to a white packet Tx/Rx screen. I am able to connect about ever fourth time. If I hit connect and nothing changes on the phone, I choose disconnect, unplug the phone, plug it back in, and try again. I seem to get better results if the phone is not "sleeping" when I try to dial. Dialing only takes 3-4 seconds and then I'm connected.
Another problem I am finding is the timeout issue. If I don't send/receive any data for about 20 seconds the connection goes south. My solution to this is to just open up terminal and use the ping command. I ping a random IP address (the address doesn't matter--vision doesn't let the ping go through anyway). The ping command will attempt to send a small packet every few seconds. You can see on the phone's Tx display that thre is data being sent as well. So far using this method, I have managed to keep a connect up for over 30 minutes with no problem. System info: PowerBook G4 800, 10.2.3, Sanyo 5300, Sanyo brand phone to USB cable
