WModem 2.25 OEM and Cab - Works on Titan - UPDATED

[k_semler]

What is the advantages to using this *cab instead of the default installed version 2.32? If I just change the "Use Preset GPRS Settings" to use wap.cingular instead of isp.cingular, disable the proxy for the Media Net connection, as well as changing both settings to Media Net under advanced network management, (connect to network, connect to private network), won't the effect be the same? Furthermore, what is the functional difference between using Wmodem.exe and IntShrUI.exe?

I don't see a reason why it wouldn't and I don't think there would be any harm in trying it out. Cook it in or run the cab and let me know.

Huh? Listen I highly doubt newer version numbers are gonna give you significant speed increases, that would be the only point. With version 2.25 in downtown Albany NY with Verizon I can get around 1.5 to 1.8Mbits/s and ~800kbit/s up with my titan. I think the hardware is the limiting factor and newer equipment on our end and more equipment on their end would only make the difference in the future. Verizon's latest ROM came with 2.36 and they made it somehow detect if u have tethering probably by checking your MDN against a web server. If you don't pay for tethering all http requests go to a website to sign up for it. So unless you find a newer version that doesn't do that, new versions are out of the question.

Finally for all:

WModem.exe gives you:

1. A public IP address - this alone should be enough...
2. No NAT means no routing. Routing requires CPU cycles. That's why the phone gets hotter than a ***** with internet sharing apps. Its even worse with the power usage for wifi.
3. No routing means less latency. I mean come on, we complain about how slow these phones are constantly... you really want it to try to push your internet connection while its already choking on itself?!?!?

The computer interfaces with the hardware and controls the hardware not the phone.
With internet sharing apps your computer thinks its talking to another computer or router... it just happens to be a much crappier and less powerful one.
