[ltp] Dial-Up Internet through Cell Phone & Bluetooth

[Nguyen The Toan]

Hi,

Could you be more detail as what to do? I have a VX10 LG phone connecting to 
my TP X20 using USB-serial cable (ftdi_sio driver). But I don't know how to 
even initialize the modem in linux. I use the Verizon Mobile Office package 
in windows to browse the internet, which is the only reason I still have 
Windows partition on my harddrive :(

Bests,
Toan
