* Subj: V551 USE AS A MODEM TO CONNECT TO MY ISP
=====================================================

J>Hi All,

J>I just got my v551 and am wondering about being able to use it
J>as a modem for my laptop, connecting either by bluetooth or by
J>the usb cable, to call my own isp to connect to the internet and
J>just minutes on my plan and not some other paid service. I just
J>called cingular and talked to a service rep. there and she said
J>yes that i could use it as a modem and only use minutes without
J>paying for any other service but could not tell me how to set it
J>up. She gave me a number to Motorolla but that number only had
J>automated responses and no live person and so i did not get the
J>info I was looking for. Can I just use the Connection Manager
J>software that you can download from Cingular's site to do this?
J>Just wondering if anyone has done this and/or how to set it up
J>to do this?

J>Thanks for the help.
