Using the o2 XDA EXEC as a modem

[_deano]

For a PC with a USB connection. I don't have the drivers and i can't download any *.exe files (because of the works firewall).
Is there anywhere that i can obtain these drivers so that i can install them on the standalone desktop i have at work. I can then view the net in its full glory and now be restriced by the networks Firewall.

thanks
DJ

If you post a link then someone could download them and email them to you?

i can't even find that online at the moment!

can this actully be done?
I've been going through the manuals, but can't see anything about using the XDA EXEC as a modem for a PC.

Yes it can be done, I do it regularly.

In Programs there is a Modem application, you just need the drivers for the laptop and you are away.

I've got the orange version of that the spv m5000, where did you find the drivers... I was going to set mine up so i could post at the britcar 24h but they had bt openzone instead...

Graham, I think the drivers may be device specific.

I found the links either at www.modaco.com or www.xda-developers.com

Sorry Graham they are specfic to the XDA EXEC and were supplied on the o2 CD-ROM. Did you not get a CD with the M5000? It would be on there.

plotless when you have your computer attached to the XDA EXEC and using it as a modem, do you find that the pictures that are on the computer are of lesser quality than if you used that same computer with a connection to a DSL?
Or do i have some setting to on/off that needs to be swtiched?

Cant say that I've noticed, will do some testing...
