6000 - Tosa / using cell phone for wireless internet?

« on: April 24, 2004, 04:32:34 pm »

I have a Samsung a530 cell phone that acts as a wireless modem to connect to the internet.

Anyone know if the SL6000 usb interface acts as a usb host, and if it works with cell phones for net access? Especially on Verizon\'s network.

Thanks,

6000 - Tosa / SL6000 to Cell for wireless net??

« on: April 24, 2004, 12:45:06 am »

I have a Samsung a530 cell phone. It has a USB interface only (supposedly it is a USB peripheral only, without serial interface support). I am able to plug in the phone to my laptop and connect to the net almost anywhere.

What I want to know, is if I can plug the phone into the SL-6000 and use it as a \"modem\", for wireless net access, when I\'m away from a wireless hotspot or my home/work wifi networks.

Is that possible? Has anyone else done it? How well does it work, if at all?

Thanks,
Greg
