Hi Brian
Joikuspot is a piece of software you purchase for about a fiver, and install
onto your mobile phone. You can then use it to turn your handset into a
modem. I use it when I'm away on business. I can hide it in the background
and use the mobile at the same time.
Walking Hotspot is a very similar program, so it's neither here nor there which
of them you purchase I guess.
