Thanks, dag. I am not familiar with wvdial but it's good to know there is a way to make it work. In another forum I was also told this:
'There is software such as joikuspot (which works on s60 v3 phones) and walkinghotspot which will turn your wifi enabled phone into a wifi hotspot and therefore using your mobile internet on your laptop.'
I haven't tested this myself yet but if it works it creates some very interesting possibilities. Among other things, connectivity becomes interdependent from the computer and whatever OS runs on it. Presumably, this also means you can connect several PCs to the handset, which now acts as a wifi router!
Now acting as a wifi router!
