I don't think that'll be possible. You need the FR to be a USB host to connect to the modem, but a USB client to connect to the laptop. It is switchable between the two modes, but can't be both at the same time. A workaround would be to connect the Neo and the laptop over 802.11 (WLAN) or Bluetooth. -- Rask Ingemann Lambertsen Danish law requires addresses in e-mail to be logged and stored for a year ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
