Some carriers might still not notice if you use modified firmware on your phone device, or an older version of the device's firmware, to enable DUN yourself... I know this was possible with the Treo 6xx series under Cingular at one point in time, but it seems they sorta caught on since it destroyed their pricing model. That is, for a while (maybe still?) you could use an older (or new, modded) firmware that did not differentiate between the network access; the current firmware allows them to separate network access from the device itself, and network packets fwded on for another device.
Network access may also be possible though add-on programs -- if your device supports Java, then it should be entirely possible, albeit probably violating the fine print of your service agreement, to simple use a proxy, either of your own design, ported, etc. Most of the readership of this list does not need linux to be "supported", as we work in a world of mostly-open standards. It is always nice to see some acknowledgement of our rather large community though!! :) ciao, ben On 10/9/07, Michael Miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I found this link on www.freshmeat.net ( Get your mind out of the > gutter it's for open software.) and figured I would share. > > http://www.vodafonebetavine.net/web/linux_drivers > > It's nice to see another cell phone carrier ( Vodafone ) understand > people don't live in a one or two operating system world.
