I 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 :/

> I think I'm going crazy now because none of the Android phones I've tried to replicate this on support this :/ They don't. 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)
