ok want to be able to instead of going to comm manager on my phone, inet sharing, etc turn it on... i want to create a modem on my windows computer. This makes it Tons easier for eitehr BT or USB connection. (espeically in my car!!! I have a carpc...) how would i go about doing this....... i have the HTC touch and i have a BT or USB connection. I want to be able to turn it on or off, so i can get an incoming call in my car... how would i do this!!!!????
is this possible?
i mean when i had my VZW phone, it worked fine, but now.... like if i make a modem dial #777, the phone does not show up as a modem?
so no one knows how to make the WM phones act as a modem.. I mean programs like PDA net do it.. but i just want to do it through the windows modem option (it will work w/ my car pc prog... like the #777 dial and stuff..
yes i also have have a PAM plan, so i am paying for the service...
my final thought was possibly, like install HTC modem drivers, and do not install activesync.. THen when it connects, it reads as a modem, then setup like #777, but whre do i get the modem drivers?
This thread may help provide more information for you...

A am sure this has been asked before, but i couldn't find a clear answer.
1) What are the steps I have to take to connect my bluetooth enabled laptop to my 8125 so that I can surf the internet on the laptop? I have an unlimited data plan for my 8125.
2) What are the steps I have to take to use my 8125 as a wireless modem with a bluetooth connection to the laptop?
I have found different answers (set up the active sync and it should work, instructions how to use the laptop as a gateway for the 8125), but the answer to my questions above has so far eluded me.
Can you help? Thanks.
Once you find out....let me know....Ive been wanting to do the same thing.
its quite simple, turn on bluetooth on both devices and do a search for devices on your laptop, pair the two and one of the services from your phone should be dial up networking. select that, and it should i belive automatically set up a dial up connection, if not just create one with your blkuetooth device as the modem, and the phone number to dial wil be *99# that should be it, i figure you most prolly dont need a username/ password, and you would know if you had one or not.

Sounds simple....I think the info I was looking for was: Do I need a dial up account and/or a data plan on my cell phone?
I think they did away with the 5.99 T-zones.
So either its pay for a slow dial up account....or get raped by Tmobile for their internet plan.
Not talking about dialing into #777 to get to the internet. I want to connect to another computer using the PPC6800 as a modem only... this possible?
Can you be more specific?
You can:
1) share your moguls internet with another computer (internet sharing)
2) use another computer through the mogul (remote desktop)
i think he wants to dial into another computer, liek RDP, but to over a phone line (to a computer that doesnt have an always-on connection)
i used to be able to do it with my LG vx8100, but i cant figure out how to do it with winmobile, there might be a program for it
just to warn you, if its anything like the 8100 it will still count as a data call, so youll want a data plan so you dont charged a ton of money
the question isn't that difficult to understand. i don't know why it's hard for people to realize that there's a desire to call other numbers than #777.
He (and I!) would like to use the phone to call a NON-SPRINT number, ie, an ISP. or anything computer that has a real modem. (remember modems... them things we used back in the early 90's....)
the phone, by definition does voice. modems operate over the same voice connection. i don't see why it shouldn't be possible. to talk to a fax machine, all you need is the voice connection.
The question is how do you get the phone to operate as a REAL MODEM, not just a sprint gateway. you want the computer to see the phone as a *real* modem, not a network adapter. are there drivers for this? is there software (please no 3rd party ****) that needs to be installed?
I would love to use my mogul to receive and send faxes rather than have to pay for a land line. Since many business in the real estate still use faxes as the main form of communications.
Thanks
i have sprint touch (WM 6), and i was wondering if I could dial my DUN on my computer not my phone.. Why does this matter... ill tell you...
i will have my phone on BT DUN in the car. I will want a way to turn on internet when i want traffic updates, or whatnot on my carputer, and then i want to turn off the internet, so a call can come in or whatnot... Normally i just go to internet sharing in the comm manager, and i click connect, and it dials and whatnot and my carputer is all hooked up. Its a real pain to go through all the menus though while driving, and turning of the internet, instead of just setting up a shortcut on the carputer, and clicking that and it will dial and everything... How could i make this work...
Would one option be to hook the phone up through USB, so it can charge, then run the internet through the USB, and still have the phone run through BT??? Im not sure, but is there anything i can do, and if any questions please post here.
can aynone helP???
Bluetooth's range is only around 30 feet. So unless you want to do whatever it is you're doing, it will only work in your garage/parking lot.
no lol, a BT dongle in the car obvisouly lol... wow..... and my phone has BT. So my point is i have a Carputer... in the car, and i wanna be able to dial my phone's internet, its WM, without going to the phone and doing this. That way i can have my phone in my trunk or W/e and still have Inet acess... As well as when i call comes in it can recieve the call, and for me to stop the internet dial...

Hey there,
I've been searching the net and this forum for a long while but did not find anything close. Here's what I have in mind:
I have a mobile plan that allows free calls within the provider network. I have a couple of phones, normal mobiles, but also three HTC devices.
I would like to place one HTC device (WM5 or WM6 with Wifi or via ActiveSync) at home, where it will always stay on and is connected to the Wifi or the internet via ActiveSync. This device contains a SIM CARD and therefore is callable.
Now, when I am out, I'd like to use my other phone and basically dial-up the phone at home for a data connection (DUN). This part should be easy.
The tough part is: How do I get my phone at home to pick up the call, treat it as a data call and route the data through the Wifi or ActiveSync to provide internet over this call/connection.
Anyone done anything like that? Ideas?
Is this wat ur looking for ?

well, thanks for the hint. This would only solve part of the problem, but I am more worried about the modem part.
Now, I've changed the scenario a bit and I think this should be doable, yet I fail to get Vista to setup a incoming connection via Bluetooth modem...
New scenario:
Vista Internet PC connected to HTC WM5 via Bluetooth, Bluetooth Modem detected and useable on PC.
In Win98, I think, I was able to set up an incoming modem connection, so it would pick up automatically and take the call as a data call and route it over the local network. This would be perfect!
In Vista, I don't manage to find this incoming connection option anymore.
Yet, this solution would need a running PC all the time, not perfect. So if anyone has an idea on how to do this solely on a HTC WM5 device, this would be brilliant!
I have an AT&T Tilt running Laurentius26's L26KDV12 (Windows Mobile 6.1) and I would like to use the device as a USB modem - NOT for internet connectivity but to connect to remote monitoring devices around the state that have modem's installed in them (for example, from my desktop I have an external 56K modem connected to COM3 - I have several HyperTerminal profiles setup with phone numbers, baud rate, etc.. that I open and my modem "calls" these remote monitoring stations"). I would like to be able to use my laptop and the Tilt (Kaiser) as the modem so I can call into these pieces of equipment while I am traveling.
Any advice - or search tags would be appreciated. I have already searched the forums and did a general Google search but all results turn up how to use the phone as a Internet Connection device - this is NOT to connect to the internet...
Thank you!
Have a search for 'usb_modem.zip' and 'MODEMLINK'. The usb_modem.zip is a driver file for Windows and allows your PC to use your Windows Mobile device as a modem. You also need the MODEMLINK installed on your device which you activate like you do with Internet Sharing. I have MODEMLINK cooked into my ROM and unfortunately don't have a .CAB for it, however I think there is one. It only consists of three files, a shortcut and some registry settings.
I have tested it sucessfully with some dial-up ISPs and it worked fine. When I was initially testing it though I attempted to phone my home line to verify it was dialing out OK and this didn't work. Since it isn't something I use often I haven't pursued this but I think it might have something to do with the 'CSD Line Type' setting in Settings/Connections.
thanks for the information. I did find and download the wmodem software for the phone but when I activate it I get an error message about not being able to access a com port, the cell signal goes dead and I have to reset the phone.
If you have a different version that what I found (5.1.2600.2180) let me know - that may be the difference...
thanks!

When I launch Modem Link I select 'USB' as the connection, Baud Rate is 'Unused' and Access point name is set to the GPRS APN I have configured (however this is unused I think?). I then hit 'Activate' and ActiveSync disconnects and the 'HTC USB Modem' is then connected to COM4. I can query the modem from the Control Panel applet on my PC like any other modem. I can also open HyperTerminal direct to COM4 and enter 'AT' commands. I just tried dialing my home phone again and this didn't work, however dialing an ISP did.
