I may be mistaken, but I don't think that is what he is looking for. The setup you linked to, is to control a desktop system connected to a home LAN, from a Android phone. Dave asked how to connect a EMC2 system to a Cell Phone network, so he could access it remotely, and perform maintenance. I'm assuming that the computer may be in a location that is not served by Cable/DSL. In 10.04LTS, my Android phone "Just Works" either by USB, or by becoming a WiFi Access Point, accessible by others. I like the WiFi function, because It allows me to place my phone where I get the best cell signal, and still be able to move around with my laptop, but it drains the battery quickly. USB, allows me to connect to the internet, and charge my phone at the same time, but, I'm generally tied to a place where I get good signal. -- -Mark Ne M'oubliez ---Family Motto Hope for the best, plan for the worst ---Personal Motto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BlackBerry® DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA http://p.sf.net/sfu/rim-devcon-copy2 _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
