The phone actually operates as a Router. I have used these myself in remote areas. We actually had 3 laptops hooked to a Phone with 3 users all happily using the internet. My friend has been on his Laptop using the internet for hours at a time without a hitch. Understand, this is not his first choice, as his location does not off internet service. I also know that you do not need internet service for LMS and the SBT to work, as he has been running it for a year now. He was using a separate router without internet access for this. He would like to get Pandora radio working by using the internet on the phone network. -- Cut-Throat ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cut-Throat's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=43167 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=93822 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
