Indeed, but I read it as you implying that the lack of Flash functionality on the iPhone would affect the device's ability to connect to the data service. I've never, ever seen a tethered cellular access setup where I have to log in through a Flash portal - as far as the network's concerned, whether it's your handset or your handset bridging the connection to an external device via Bluetooth or sync cable, the network just sees the traffic as coming from the device itself. There should be no additional login steps required as the handset has already done that (and is de facto authenticated as it's a registered device on the network). No Flash support required. (certainly when I use my own device for tethering, I run the generic Windows Mobile Connection Sharing app (which DOESN'T authenticate with anything) on my phone, set it up to share via USB and then hit Connect - it establishes the data connection and I plug my computer in, and the phone appears as a network interface. I'm up and running without any other logins almost immediately. I suspect the iPhone is treated differently by AT&T from its other standard handset range; I would still wager that the iPhone data plan doesn't allow for nonstandard ports to be used (i.e., VNC et al) whereas the regular AT&T data "bolt-on" package allows for more unrestricted usage. YGWYPF is valid here :) _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [email protected] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
