I        EV> wish to use a cat5 Bluetooth device in its place to let        EV> the router use data that is on the phone even tho I know        EV> there will be an upcharge for my doing that .              So.. your only source of internet right now is at the        cellphone?              If so, I don't think there is an cat5 adaptor for the phone to        feed ethernet to your devices. Usually the only possibility        with eth/cat5 adaptors that connect to smartphones is when you        want to provide internet TO the phone.              Your easiest solution (as has been mentioned before) is to        simply get a wifi dongle for your pc, and enable mobile hotspot        on your phone.                                   --         ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.58        * Origin: Mobile?
