I pay $40 a month for it so I can have unlimited access but I have to keep
it 1 1/2 more years. After I added that I was informed I didn't have to
have Vision anymore so I dropped that.

I have never installed any extra software on my Vista computer yet. It came
with the Slingbox software on it so all I had to do was set that up.

On my Mogul I run "Internet Sharing", set it for "Bluetooth PAN" and then
tap Connect. Then on the laptop I right click on the Bluetooth icon in the
system tray and then "Join a Personal Area Network." then "Connect."

Or if I want to use a USB cable, I just set "Internet Sharing" for "USB" tap
"Connect" and hook up the USB cable. My laptop finds that pretty quick too.

Yes that program is very cool and I have version 80 on my Mogul already.

BTW, as neat as that program is, I had a lot of trouble with it when I tried
to use it to get the internet from the Mogul to another PPC/phone. I ended
up using a BT DUN instead.

I'll say this too. When I use BT DUN instead of WMWiFiRouter my Mogul it
doesn't get as warm as it used to.

All that is great for me, but I still know someone that wants to get the
CTR350 to work with either a Mogul or their Touch.

Thanks.
