Great Tip there nats007. Wish I had the moola for a Android Phone. I use one of those disposible TracPhones though. Wife is gonna burn up my minutes on it on her trip this coming week. So I guess my point is moot as usual. __{{emoticon}}__

As natsoo7's link has now been broken due to the mepis forums being moved, I thought I'd add a link to the mepis wiki where you can find similar information, but more generic as it's based on mobile tethering via bluetooth, and I'm sure Antix users will be smart enough to work out the differences between a KDE environment and Fluxbox/IceWM.

I didn't have to change anything to tether my phone and use the wifi connection.

All I did was make the wired-default usb0 in wicd (if that's not it check in ceni). I can then connect to the local network using my phone, and just connect to the phone over usb (my antiX laptop is too old for bluetooth). I'm using Antix m11.
