Use the Treo 600, 650 and 700p as a modem
Authored by: gregb on Jul 14, '06 08:13:49PM

A signficant reason I choose the Sprint Treo 700p was to use as a wireless modem and assumed the Mac compatibility of the Palm desktop software extended to the USB modem interface. After many unsuccessful hours of attempting to gain modem access interfacing with the bluetooth or USB connections, I came across this suggestion for the USB Modem software. I downloaded the trial version and made a successful connection using the USB-Treo connection in 5 minutes. I transitioned to the permanent version which comes with lifetime upgrades. The software creates a useful internet connect icon in the menu bar and allows one to easily switch between mobile phone internet access and airport access. There may be cheaper ways to make this connection, but the ease of use were worth it to me. Thank-you very much for the suggestion.
