Treo As Modem

Use Your Palm Treo as a Modem
The Palm Treo is an amazing handheld, capable of performing many tasks to organize our days and keep us in touch with others. Many of these phones have fairly advanced internet browsers included in them, and if you subscribe to the correct data plan, you can access almost everything on the internet. However the overall size of the platform can be limiting. The keyboard, while functional, isn’t as ergonomic as a full size keyboard, and the screen size leaves something to be desired.
It is possible to use your unlimited data connection and the technology built into the platform to connect your laptop to the internet via the Treo’s data connection.
Because of the wide variety of carriers and cell phones available, no one set of instructions will work for everyone. Below is a list of links that should cover most scenarios. Please note that in order to use the palm you will need to install a third party software application.
