Re: Internet connection through PC

You can craft your code to force your UDP traffic through a connection other
than AS. You need to bind your socket to the IP of your GPRS adapter.
That's the only work-around that I can think of, off hand. I've never done
it with GPRS, but it works fine to select between two network adapters.

I suppose that you could debug over GPRS. It's only a network connection,
after all. You'd want to use the Manual Server connection, rather than
Active Sync (configured through the Configure Platform Manager menu item in
eVC).
