Using Your BlackBerry As a Modem On Linux 135
ruphus13 writes "Now, the suits and the geeks can unite — Barry allows BlackBerrys to serve as modems for Linux machines. From the news post, 'Barry, created by open source software vendor Net Direct, lets you not only sync your contacts and calendar but also use your smartphone as a computer modem. Sure, it's not as fast as T1 or cable, but you can't beat it if you're stuck somewhere with no Internet access. Currently, there are packages available for Ubuntu, Debian, Mandriva, and Fedora (although syncing is not supported on Fedora 9). Most older BlackBerrys work just fine with Barry, but the newest generation of devices — the Storm and Bold — are not yet fully supported.'"

Nonetheless someone, somewhere, gets a hardon just thinking about it and absolutely cannot go on unless he finds a way to do it.

I plugged a rectangular modulator/demodulator thingy into my Commodore 64, then attached that to the telephone jack in the wall! We didn't HAVE a cell phone in those days!
Now get off my lawn!

Yes, but a girl's gotta have her standards, Chris.
