The tethering apps you can get for rooted phones use iptables to nat traffic, it doesn't proxy it so there would be no clue other than a high port number maybe, although I think you can randomise the outgoing port or mess with it so it doesn't look out of the ordinary. In this day and age anything less than 1/2G would be silly in any case if you do more than a few emails, especially since data is finally getting to be reasonable. -- Best regards, Duane http://www.freeauth.org - Enterprise Two Factor Authentication http://www.nodedb.com - Think globally, network locally http://www.sydneywireless.com - Telecommunications Freedom http://e164.org - Global Communication for the 21st Century "In the long run the pessimist may be proved right, but the optimist has a better time on the trip."
