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

[Aaron Mulder]

	Aha!  Success!

	The username is 10-digit-phone-number@vzw3g.com
	The password is vzw

phone.  The latency isn't great, but the bandwidth seems better than 56k.  
And to think, yesterday, I didn't even know this was possible.  :)
