[NTLUG:Discuss] Interesting USB device dmesg

[David Simmons]

Ok....time to answer my own email.......if you go into the phones settings
(Start-->Settings-->Connections-->USB) and change 'USB connection
setting:' from ActiveSync  --to--> Mass Storage  it shows up
in SuSE like a normal USB device that you can add/remove files from

 - Dave

p.s.  Still would know to know if was
adding another ethernet connection - does this mean this is the way to
surf the web through the cell-phone data network?
