    This has me bet. I am no longer a Master of the Small Tech Universe, I feel myself spiralling downwards into the 1980's with modem scripts, diall-up access and analogue modems.

    The reason for wanting to do this is the Tescomobile 30-day offer of 6.99 and the felexibility of not having to to be tethered to a contract.

    Please be gentle with me, my poor auld head is wrecked.

    So please folks: How do tether my Nokia E63-1 Tescomobile PAYG phone as a modem to my MacMini OS X 10.6.8 (32-bit) via USB preferably for mobile internet access?

    Many thanks in advance.

    Super pointer, thanks.

    I'm running the Lite version in test-mode in the sticks at the moment, no reflection on the app, reception is dire at the best of times, but apart from the patchy signal, the app is a hum-dinger; sliced bread is in the half-penny place.

    Once I recharge the credit-cards tomorrow, I'll be shopping for the Big Brother version. No wires, no dongles a once-off 9.00 yoyo charge and off we go.

    Thanks again. Symbian still rocks (for a week or two more at least).
