It's easy enough to find USB adapter cables for almost any mobile phone.

Is there an app compatible with 98SE for backing up cell phone contacts,

settings, etc? If it exists, it's probably an open source app. I can't find

anything.

You mean this:

http://bitpim.org/

BUT running on 98 AND "universal"?

I use a Samsung and Kyocera mobile phone.

While googling for open source apps, I found BitPim too.

Scroll down the page and you'll see downloads for Windows

2k/XP/Vista/7.

That's the problem. I don't think there is an app compatible

with older systems like 98SE.

A command line app that runs from a floppy or stick would be

ok with me.

Thank you, jaclaz.

If you'd try to run bitpim on your machine you'll notice that it does actually run and itt doesn't even require KernelEx.

Maybe a SIM card reader helps,

The MSI SIM Card Editor v4.0, which is on the mini-CD of the MSI StarReader mini II, requires WinXP or Win2000 according to the user manual, but the software installed Ok under Win98. I have not tested this software, only installed it under Win98. There may be a chance that it runs Ok under Win98 because the card reader comes with a manufacturer-provided Win98 driver.

Life is "trying things to see if they work".

The two mobile phones I'm using right now are not on the BitPim

list of supported phones.

I consider myself an advanced (sometimes expert) level computer

user. Open source apps can be great, but they assume the user

already has comprehensive knowledge of a particular subject. In

this case, cell phones. I'm sure I would do the same if I developed

an open source app. Creating an extensive "hand holding" help file

takes forever. I've tried, and it's a real nightmare!

I read tons of science fiction when I was kid. My favorite authors

were the "old guys" like Bradbury, Heinlein, Clarke, etc. For some

reason, I hate seeing the fiction I read many years ago on the little

(TV) or big (Movie) screen. It always stinks.

I really do appreciate all your replies. Thanks guys.
