| May 2, 2014 at 11:44 | comment | added | Generalkidd | Well I'm actually using a Nokia Lumia 928 Windows Phone so I can't really root it to tether. There is a tethering app available on Windows Phone but it has its limits and sometimes in the city the network could get congested. | |
| May 1, 2014 at 17:20 | comment | added | Generalkidd | The purpose of this is basically for emergency use or when there's no wifi/4G signals available. I also don't have a tethering plan for my phone. So that's why I'd like to be able to access the internet anytime and anywhere I want, even if it's dialup through my phone. Usually everywhere I go still has phone service, but not necessarily internet. I also have an unlimited calling plan. | |

| Apr 30, 2014 at 20:22 | comment | added | VL-80 | It is a good technical question, I think, but why do you need it today? Is it only way your computer can be connected to Internet? | |

| Apr 30, 2014 at 20:17 | comment | added | Wutnaut | @DanD. Didn't these phones still go onto a dial-up modem? As Moses said, I think more than just audio is sent over the line. The real question is why are you trying to use new tech to enable really, really old tech? Surely there's a better tethering solution than aiming for dial-up. | |
| Apr 30, 2014 at 20:17 | comment | added | Elliott Frisch | @Moses POTs can only transmit audio. | |
| Apr 30, 2014 at 20:15 | comment | added | SilverlightFox | @Moses How do you mean? The data is converted to analogue so it can be sent over a connection that is normally used for just audio. | |
| Apr 30, 2014 at 20:11 | comment | added | user201262 | Someone can call me out on this, but I'm fairly sure the data being send over dial up connection is more than just audio. | |
| Apr 30, 2014 at 20:06 | comment | added | Dan D. | Most phones actually have a serial port accessible over USB that has the same interface as a serial modem and long ago this was used with laptops to access the internet via dial up. | |
