I have been searching the forum and the wiki for over an hour and am finding tons of old 2003/2004 threads, and some mid 2008 threads with no responses, about using WModem to provide internet connection.
I want to use my HTC Kaiser over 3G as an internet connection. How do I achieve this? I am using WModem but I have no drivers for it on my computer, and dont want to dial through AT&T's service. The USB_MODEM.zip file links were all old and no longer around.
Any help would be appreciated.

If you just want Internet access the use then Internet Sharing application in Windows Mobile (assuming its in your ROM, if not I think the .cab for it is available?). Assuming your PC is XP and its connected via USB with ActiveSync then it's all pretty automatic.
You need to ensure you have Internet access from the PDA (i.e. you can browse the internet over 3G, GPRS etc), you then start Internet Sharing, select PC Connection USB, and set the 'Network Connection' to your Internet connection (3G, GPRS) and then click 'Connect'. ActiveSync will stop and your PC will discover a new Network Interface (Windows Mobile Internet Sharing Device I thin kit appears as) and thats it. The WM device acts as a DHCP Server & DNS proxy. I use this quite often and it's pretty good - I have a Kaiser and get a good HSDPA connection at home, the connection can vary with travelling though.
If you want to use the PDA as a Modem then you need the Modem Link application (this is where you need to install the Modem Drivers on the PC). I have used this as well but with less sucess.

Do you know where the cab for Internet Sharing is? I am failing at using WModem right now.
