Toshiba VM4050 - Data Modem

Is there a recommended USB data cable to buy to use the VM4050 as a
modem for my laptop? Can it even be done with this phone? If so, do you
still use the same Sprint PCS software? Thanks for any help.

This is where I got mine:

You can also get it here:

and elsewhere as well.

You'll need USB drivers for the phone, and have to setup a new modem entry
and corresponding network connection for the phone. But yes, this can be
done. Note, though, that Sprint doesn't allow using your phone as a modem,
and says so in the TOS. But word is that so long as you keep your usage
fairly low they won't call you on it.
