Hey JavaNut, In addition to existing replies, it should be possible to enable USB device serial support in the kernel configuration, enabling the device to appear as a serial port to the computer. You could then run pppd on the Android side, and dial-up networking on the Windows side over the new serial port. That's the theory, anyway.
