But I'll share my experiences. For accessing the on-board ring-tones / pictures / photos / etc., moto4lin is (a) buggy (b) didn't work in 64 bit mode last I tried (c) in x86 mode, works pretty well. It claims to support your phone: <a href="http://moto4lin.sourceforge.net/wiki/Category:Models">http://moto4lin.sourceforge.net/wiki/Category:Models</a> For actually backing up messages and sending texts, kmobiletools seems to work well. I haven't tried using my mobile phone to connect to the Internet. My impression is that it should work rather like a normal USB modem. Hope this helps, James. -- E-mail address: james | Beneath this stone lies Murphy, @<a href="http://westexe.demon.co.uk">westexe.demon.co.uk</a> | They buried him today, | He lived the life of Riley, | While Riley was away. </blockquote></div> -- Gregory Machin <a href="mailto:greg@linuxpro.co.za">greg@linuxpro.co.za</a> <a href="mailto:gregory.machin@gmail.com">gregory.machin@gmail.com</a> <a href="http://www.linuxpro.co.za">www.linuxpro.co.za </a> <a href="http://www.exponent.co.za">www.exponent.co.za</a> Web Hosting Solutions Scalable Linux Solutions <a href="http://www.iberry.info">www.iberry.info</a> (support and admin) +27 72 524 8096
