Reading the top answer has lost me. It starts with "No." explaining why it doesn't work and then changes it into a to "Yes, but it's slow." further down.

- joecool1029 10y agoI didn't get their writing style either. Fun fact, early GPRS phones usually had the computer 'dial-up' (use a DUN) using: *99# or *99***n# where n was the stored profile number on the device. This was a packet, not circuit-switched connection but the computer didn't see it any differently.
- prodmerc 10y agoI clearly remember using this to connect to the Internet via EDGE/3G on a HTC Tytn II and later a HTC Magic directly from my laptop, instead of tethering (which was against ISP ToS). I think I'm going crazy now because none of the Android phones I've tried to replicate this on support this :/

Android uses usb cdc ethernet for connecting to network on devices that allow tethering. Feature phones (mostly) used PPP DUN over serial (bluetooth and I think IRDA gives rfcomm ports). A few of the later one also used the cdc_ethernet method (out of my old one.. only my K850i does)
