  5. Re:using sprintpcs as my download pipe via squid on Life on the Road with 3G · · Score: 1

    oh, and I average 7-8k a sec here at home, don't know if the singal has anything to do with it, the signal doesn't even register on the little meter on the phone and I have to move the phone to get it in service every once in a while... on the road I have seen as high as a sustained 15k a sec

  6. using sprintpcs as my download pipe via squid on Life on the Road with 3G · · Score: 1

    howdy all! i live in rural iowa, so broadband isn't an option. I hooked up my sprintpcs phone an old sony laptop running rh8. I set it up as my proxy download pipe using squid. When ever i want to download something on my main computer, I set up phoenix to proxy to my laptop with the srpintpcs phone hooked to it. I then use it to download large files and what not, so I can still surf the web using mozilla. Works fantastic!

    I find that casual surfing and email is better suited to my dial up. Its working great!

    I recently went to indiana. i used my wifes laptop with it. funny thing is that it seems a better web surfing experience when you vpn in someplace so you dont have to use sprints jpeg compressor...

    sprints jpeg compressor = ass

    the really ironic thing is that it took me 4 hours to get it to work with winxp - was hard finding the samsung cdma drivers

    with rh8 it took like 10 minutes to figure it out-lol

    with macosx it took less than one minute when I saw someone posted to try the sony cdma script with it

    samsung sph-n400
