After that I tried using a Windows 7 machine with it. It worked too, so I now had two laptops connected to the Android 3G access point. Then I made a 100 MB file on the Linux laptop and used pscp.exe to copy the file over to the Windows laptop. That worked great and I was getting a little more than 18 Mbps throughput in the scp transfer, which should be fast enough to stream DVD ISOs, for example. I'm sure the battery was being used pretty fast when the phone was acting as an access point. Maybe it was using something like 20% of the battery per hour. I will usually have it plugged in when I use it that way, probably in my car. Mike
