• Re: [IBCP] How to tie two laptops and a printer together, + Verizon Am.Choice cellphone

    What I don't understand is how to use my cellphone as a digital modem. It is not a modem per se. I have to use the Verizon software to dial #777 before it connects to the web. Could I connect it to the cradlepoint router via USB and manually dial #777 and get it to work? Or would it be possible to use the router and still be able to use the VZAM software to dial the phone? I don't think I can keep my Verizon Americas' Choice plan if I get a cellular modem.

    As far as the other post from Robbie asking:

    "What in the HELLO did you guys do in your former lives ????!!! I'm fairly good at this, but you guys thro me to the ground, and THEN stomp on me !!! Robbie"

    I have no idea what he is talking about, except it should be clear that in my former life it wasn't as IT manager! I'm struggling with this stuff!
