Well StuartT, I appreciate your feed back and your result seems real good to me. However I still have a puzzle. I went to the web site you posted previously to look for a driver for my cell phone and couldn't find one. I did see the Verizon Access Manager advertised but did not download it as I thought there was a charge involved and I was not sure that was what I needed. I hope to start some travels this week and hope to use it so I called the Verizon Tech support. I was told by a pleasant and intelligent sounding lady that I did not need a driver. If I understood her correctly she told me I simply activate the data service then connect the cell phone I have to the computer with my USB cable and I would "be online". I don't have to do anything the phone and Verizon would take care of everything for me. Can it really be that simple? If not at least two Verizon ladies have very cleverly mislead me.
