    I looked at Your "me" link just now.
    Lots of knowledge under that hat.
    I couldn't send a message to You when I tapped on the Button, so thought to write here to let You know I visited the page.
    (probably the Log told on me before I could finish this post)

    I saw Ed's post here and the word "lighthouses" and had to ask, are you
    also a fan of them?

    The t.me link points to my id page for Telegram. If you install Telegram on your phone, it will offer direct messaging.

    Hello Mike!

    Nah.. I was thought that the CBC Debators episode wrt to
    lighthouses was the funniest one I had heard in a long time.

    August,
    On Your "me" page with the image of a bunch of books stacked between a hat and a person's shoulders I thought was a cute image for You.
    I did notice the word "Telegram" on that page.

    Don't think I am interested at the present time for a App on this phone.
    As You know I want some kind of Bluetooth device to use the phones data with the XP rig here

    Besides the USB device I also saw another device with a CAT5 jack on it.
    That has me thinking about using that device in the place where the old DSL modem was plugged in the Linksys Router.
    Using that CAT5 device I could use either the XP or Vista PC as I used to do.

    I WANT to get back to doing 'computing' as I used to do.

    Hello Ed!

    Besides the USB device I also saw another device with a
    CAT5 jack on it. That has me thinking about using that
    device in the place where the old DSL modem was plugged in
    the Linksys Router. Using that CAT5 device I could use
    either the XP or Vista PC as I used to do.

    If you are thinking of this solution..

    https://www.pcmag.com/how-to/connect-phone-tablet-to-internet-
    ethernet-cable

    .. I don't think it will work for your situation. The adapters
    depicted in the article are usually designed to bring internet
    *to* the phone. But in your case, you want to tap into the
    internet *from* the phone.


    I WANT to get back to doing 'computing' as I used to do.

    Wifi or BT receiver/transmitter at your pc is easier.

    Thank You August,

    The PC Mag link gave me a 404 because the last part was placed on the next line as text.
    After logging off the BBS I will enter the full address in Firefox and read the article.

    Direct connections would work and be "easier" but You know from reading my posts that I like to complicate things.

    Your help is appreciated.
