off the Hook

Even with a satellite internet connection, 10 people on the same uplink gets congested. BUT, we all have Blackberries too, most of us on the Edge network. Sooooooo, I just connected my blackberry via USB cable, fired up Blackberry Desktop (which I don't use for any other purpose now that its all wireless), and created a dial-up network connection. BAM,  I'm on the web at 460 kpbs, which ain't bad.

Here's a link to setup the network connection:

Note: This won't work on GPRS.
