   Hello Ed!   
      
    EV> Tech suggested I should cancel DSL and order Fiber   
    EV> Internet. I did, Fiber never worked after the Tech who   
    EV> installed the service left when finally a website came up   
    EV> on my notebook. [...]   
      
   Doesn't sound like he did a very thorough test. You should have     
   had consistent successful connections, and not just the att.com     
   site.   
      
    EV> Last year I ordered Fiber again, tried to get a website to   
    EV> show up, failed again, cancelled again. [...]   
      
   Too bad you can't use the more ubiquitous DSL or cable. They     
   traditionally offer data packages at lower prices than wireless     
   might.   
      
    EV> This January I went to Cricketwireless and became their   
    EV> customer.   
      
   But that is just a mobile carrier, no?   
      
      
    EV> Using this Android phone to log on the BBS is slightly   
    EV> difficult but I'm here   
      
   Hmmm.   
      
      
    EV> As I wrote in some echo earlier, if I can get this thing   
    EV> and the XP to work together I would be happy.   
      
    EV> I think You suggested using Bluetooth between those   
    EV> devices and I have been trying to learn where to get what   
    EV> I need to do Bluetooth here.   
      
   Yup..  a hotspot/tethered connection is all there is to it.   
      
   The Vista-based laptop ought to support that.  Have fun.
