bought a cradlepoint phs300 (personal wifi hotspot) now i don't care what OS.

i just plugged the USB cable from blackberry into PHS300, turned the PHS300 switch to On...

typed in the password provided on the PHS300

presto! i was connected=!

found a good deal on ebay for the phs300.

the phs300 has a lithium ion battery and the USB cable charges my blackberry pearl at the same time...

now all i need is the PHS300 car charger and i am totally mobile.

i have two asus eee mini PCs...

one running linux, one running xp

i was a software engineer 20 years before getting laid off.

now i spend most of my time in my limo waiting...

i now offer on-board wifi hotspot to my passengers and can test
my limo web site with linux and xp pcs as i develop it.

more time to work on important stuff like my on-line reservation software
that runs on my web servers running php and mysql.

why spend all that time on trying to tether blackberry to linux when
the cradlepoint phs300 is plug and play solution?
