I found a module for the linux kernel amr-modem, which alows you to send modem commands to your phone. I have my Motorola Razr hooked up via USB, and linxu automagically loaded the module, and then i could talk to my phone via Terminal.
Although im not sure if you could use this as internet access thats what i was trying to do, but never succeeded , but basically being able to use my phone as a modem for my laptop.
They SHOULD work with any OS, in order to make the install under Windows easy all of the cell modems I've seen in the last 5 years or so show up as a comm port USB adapter, then it's generally as simple as finding the dial string for your provider.

They are ALL lying. Forgot to mention. Verizon will kick you if you do Phone as Modem. And they charge you the Early Termination fee. But Verizon kicked me for connecting once to check my email. Took me 2 lawyers and 3 months to get back on.
Verizon is the only service that works at my house, or id be on sprint in a second. Verizon is evil, no doubt, but Sprint is much more evil by far. They are evil as well as incompetent.

Got my Blackberry Pearl at Sams Club and got a deal for unlimited data including email browsing and modem, through TMobile.
Not the fastest connection as you'd expect but certainly good enough for email, and its kbps more than nothing. Again its slow, but it was way better than nothing and. Not worth it If it's anything as slow and difficult as it is on Windows, then it's really not worth the effort. Tethering a BB on Windows, even without a corporate policy, was exceedingly difficult and the speeds were pretty horrible.
Hotels, inexpensive Wifi, right Tethering a BB on Windows was exceedingly difficult My crackberry is about a third the speed of dialup, with much higher latency..
Also, this IS dialup, it just isn't v. Outlook allows you to setup profiles and set attachment size limits on each, it's very common to set it up to grab headers and body without attachments on dialup, this would be the same. Yeah, if I'm roaming in the US, my provider charges me 8 dollars a meg for traffic.

My eee has always been able to do this without any software, anyone else? It's more of a kernel module thing. The EEE distro might have included that module in it's kernel build. It's not an upstream module, or at least it wasn't last I checked.
Barry includes the module and is installed as part of the suite. You probably had the module preinstalled? Or did you do a clean install? I just make my life easy and stick with Linux. Other phones too? Is it possible to use other cell phones as well as modem for Linux boxes? My old Nokia connects with a USB cable and works as a modem on my windows laptop thanks to a special driver, but I never tried it under Linux. I don't think Nokia provides Linux drivers.
I also have the cable, but it is more convenient to use bluetooth however, I discovered when my house lost power for 5 days and I needed to check email, that the bluetooth drains the battery much faster.

I just want to be able to send files back and forth with my phone and the computer. T-mobile tech support was not helpful. Do you happen to know the answer? Thank you in advance. I am really sick and tired of this crap. You would think that someone would have a solution by now.
I was told at the store typical that T-Mobile fully supports tethering the Curve to a mac for no additional fee and here I am at 1am trying to get it working by installing some hacked modem scripts and wondering if it is a problem that can be solved without blackberry fixing their own code. I am now off to start hunting for a USB solution.
Anyone else have a better idea? I just got my Pearl setup using this procedure. Connected to the phone with no problems and connected to the internet with no problems for over 20 minutes. I used it with Mail, Safari, and Firefox and all 3 worked fine.
Slow, but well, ie Google, Drudge, etc. Hopefully this helps. I know this is not as clear as it could be but it is late and I tried so many different things until this worked. Good Luck. Any ideas if a fix is coming for this? What happened here? Curious if anyone has found any updates on the situation. Any news of someone trying? I think we should keep this thread going or make an agreed upon meeting place at crackberry or some other forum as a clearing house for new information. From what I can see here no dice if you use Verizon and want to get btooth modem service to your mac from a blackberry.
Can anyone confirm it works with a PC? There is no support capability for Macintosh computers at this time.
