Oh, no, pardon my omission. I realized after I sent it I didn't say how- I bought an inexpensive USB mini USb -> to regular USb cable at radio shack. I can't vouch for the Nokia, but I do know that when I first got my c332, I asked the tech at the store if it could be used as a modem and he confidently assured me that my model phone didn't have the capability. Being the person I am, I realized the phone had a USB port for *something*, so I gambled the 8 USD investment in the cable. The moment I plugged it in, Jaguar's Apple Profiler instantly listed it as "Motorola USB modem", so I knew I was in like Flynn. It was trial and error for about 5 minutes in the "Network" prefs, trying different modem scripts before I happed upon one of the built- in ones that worked for the c332. I set my dial- up info, hit "connect" and watched my phone display read, "data transmission" with little "1"s and "0"s scrolling across. It's moments like that when it really hits home why we're Mac users. Anyway, Ross' site has precise scripts for various phones and he really knows what he's doing- you should have no problem finding one for your Nokia. dave -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
