Using as a USB modem with MacOS

[hacman]

Hi,

I have my MDA Vario III setup to share its data connection with my MacBook via BlueTooth, which is all very good any well.

But I was wondering if anyone had managed to find a good solution for doing this on the Mac using USB instead?

Its easy enough for PCs with ActiveSync...

Ive looked round on the forum and the Internet, but there doesnt seem to be a clear answer to this...

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Jon

I have all Macs in my home and my home office. Bluetooth sharing is easy. Syncing with Missing sync , it's a great program, but that and others I have looked at, do not allow internet sharing through USB. I have had my Tilt for a year and a half and have yet to find a way.

Couldn't you use a linux method? I have a Mac Ibook 3g (collecting dust because macs are useless) and I've noticed that it's pretty much just linux with a crappy interface and one mouse button.

TBH i have not found a solution to this as such...

the blue tooth pan option is very very slow in transferring data between the phone and mac when using internet sharing

in the end the beast solution was to use wmwifirouter. the speed is just as good as pairing via usb with a pc. i do use the usb to give the phone a power supply however.

this is the best solution i have found so far
