It's called "tethering" when you use a 'phone as a modem to access the 'phones data plan from a computer. Last I know, iPhone would not allow it unless "jailbroken". There are USB "aircards" that access the cell data network for computers. Usually a 5 to 8 GB limit per month. -- Philip _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
