It was really neat.  Basically BitPim worked as well as if the phone was
connected locally.  Big transfers like wallpaper downloads were noticeably
slower, but phonebook transfers were just fine.

There are a number of details of Sanyo Phones, that I don't have, that I
would like to work.  I am looking for few volunteers to make their
phones available to me via BitPim.  The phones that I would like to
BitFling to are:

SCP-5300
SCP-5400 (RL2500)
SCP-7200 (RL2000)
SCP-7300 (RL7300)
PM-8200 (Nobody advertises support for this, maybe BitPim can be first)

The requirements are.

1.  Be able to connect your phone to a computer (Windows or Linux) that
has a broadband internet connection.

2.  Have installed BitPim 0.7test9 and have successfully used it to read
or write something to your phone.  (The 5400 and 7300 don't work with
0.7test9, but do work with (and require) the BitFling in 0.7test9)

3.  Know how to configure your firewall/router to allow/forward incoming
connections on a particular port to the computer running bitfling.  If
you use a home cable/dsl router, like SMC or DLink, I may be able to
talk you through the configuration.
(Microsoft Internet Connection Sharing can not be running on the
computer).

4.  Have an AIM or Yahoo messenger account so we can communicate in real
time while getting things setup.

5.  Be willing to let a stranger read stuff from your phone.

There are a number of things I need to learn/debug without needing to
write data to the phone.  I'll get your explicit permission before
altering data on your phone, but for many of these phones I may not need
to do so.
