Thanks for the Vista info. I am more confident that it will work with the phone. I know that my dial-up internet, Netscape, will not, as they have explicitly stated that they won't update to work w/ Vista.
When I mention our LG VX3300 phone to Verizon store people, they act incredulous that anyone ever bought one, let alone that it could possibly warrant any accessories. Yet this was the phone they were pushing 18 months back.
Suffice it to say they are not helping much (at least by phone) with locating a compatible cable, and after the radio shack adventure, I do want to buy from brick and mortar in the event of another incompatibility - I have no problem buying a $40 cable from Verizon, but can you help me determine which specific kit will do the trick with the LG VX3300? I would really appreciate it.
