Thumbs down Can i use an old pda as a wireless card if so how?

I would like to use an old xv6700 as a wireless card on my PC so I can use my i910's (samsung omnia) broadband connection to get on the NET.
I have an "unlimited data" package from Verzion...what do I need to do?

I have used the Omina to tether before using PDANET but it would always disconnect. So it was never a really good way to keep connected, I suspect it's an activesync issue and we all know activesync isn't reliable...at least with the tandem of Verizon and my Omnia.

I also want to say that as of right now I have no NET at home due to some issues with the DSL signal and my buildings wiring, so this seemed like a good work-a-round. I don't own a wireless router! So many dilemma's

But I'd like to share the Omnia's mobile broadband connection via the 6700 via my PC. Can anyone help me out here?

Re: Can i use an old pda as a wireless card if so how?

It should work actually, assuming you have ICS installed on the XV6700 too. You would then just use WMWiFi router (or the comm manager with WiFi sharing) to set up the access point, then use the 6700's WiFi to connect, and ICS to share over USB to your PC. You should also just be able to use the Omnia's connection over USB, but I assume you probably need to place it a good distance away from your PC. You are going to need to have custom ROMs on both devices in order to do this, btw.
