Hello Ed!

 EV> Tech suggested I should cancel DSL and order Fiber
 EV> Internet. I did, Fiber never worked after the Tech who
 EV> installed the service left when finally a website came up
 EV> on my notebook. [...]

Doesn't sound like he did a very thorough test. You should have  
had consistent successful connections, and not just the att.com  
site.

 EV> Last year I ordered Fiber again, tried to get a website to
 EV> show up, failed again, cancelled again. [...]

Too bad you can't use the more ubiquitous DSL or cable. They  
traditionally offer data packages at lower prices than wireless  
might.

 EV> This January I went to Cricketwireless and became their
 EV> customer.

But that is just a mobile carrier, no?


 EV> Using this Android phone to log on the BBS is slightly
 EV> difficult but I'm here

Hmmm.


 EV> As I wrote in some echo earlier, if I can get this thing
 EV> and the XP to work together I would be happy.

 EV> I think You suggested using Bluetooth between those
 EV> devices and I have been trying to learn where to get what
 EV> I need to do Bluetooth here.

Yup..  a hotspot/tethered connection is all there is to it.

The Vista-based laptop ought to support that.  Have fun.
