Hi
Is there any way (through an application or whatever) to share my
N95's GSM Connection as a Wifi? I know how to do the whole Bluetooth
GSM Modem thing but I'd like to have my phone ouput a sort of Ad-hoc
network sharing its Internet connection
Anyway to do this?
Thanks
Rich Brown

It isn't quite what you want, but if you have a Mac laptop you could
tether it to the phone, then use the laptop as a WiFi router, which is
easy with the current macs.

I did that during our summer trip--we were driving across the country
with our own little wireless network in the car, consisting of my Mac
connected to the phone system and my kids' macs connected to that.

Since it was only an EDGE connection it was very slow, but still neat to
be able to do it.

Thanks, that was going to be my second option. Just thought it be
easier with N95 as a wifi point because I'd like to have it shared to
many devices, but can do that through the Mac so no problems.

Thanks
Rich
