Hi, I don't believe Android phones can be used as regular modems with PPP like other phones, but they can still act as network gateways. Depending on whether your phone has restrictions in place, this should work in the near future: http://www.ghacks.net/2010/02/01/tether-your-android-phone-to-your-linux-laptop/ AFAIK this makes the phone act as a USB CDC ECM (Ethernet) device, which should be supported by the usbecm driver in build 136 of OpenSolaris (will be in /dev when it is released): http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=123179&tstart=17 You can ask for a build of the driver if you need to use it in a current release of OpenSolaris. Another option is "Wifi Tether" from http://anda.pk/ -Albert
