Just a postscript...

You do NOT have to have T-Zones for this to work. You incur NO additional charges. All you incur are minutes against your calling plan. I suggest NOT transferring large files as the connection is 9.6Kbps.

USB A to USB B, found in most computer stores and electronics shops.

I don't think so. USB A is the one on the back of your computer. USB B is the square plug for the back of a printer. This plug is smaller that that. I don't know what it is called, but it is maybe 3/8 of an inch wide by 3/16 id an inch. It flares out on the bottom.

Yah, my Nixvue has this same connector, regular USB at one end and something kinda funky at the other...here's a photo of it:

BTW, the end of the connector illustrated in my previous post has a distinct capital "B" on it.

Yes, that's true. As long as your doing a plain-old dial-up connection, (aka circuit-switched) you only incur charges against your monthly minute bucket.

Now, to make it really interesting, try hooking yourself up to the Net via GPRS (General Packet Radio Service). Along with being packet switched, you should see speeds of up to 56kbps; it really depends on whether you're moving around.

In order to enable this though, you're going to have to enable another modem in your network settings. Since I don't have the phone here, I can recommend a site with most of the how-to's you could need: http://www.novamedia.de/pages_e/e_produkte.html. (Scroll down a bit.)

The other site is a UK site: http://www.taniwha.org.uk/
These guys have all sorts of solutions available that should get you to use GPRS. Note that for this, you're going to have to have T-Zones enabled.

And don't even think of asking T-Mobile for help with your config. As far as they are concerned, GPRS and T-Zones only works with PC's.

Good luck, and post your results if you try!
