[Novalug] connecting from my laptop

[Ken Kauffman]

The only drawback to this approach is that you can't use the phone and
internet at the same time.  At least that's how it is with my other phone. I
would imagine that Pete can confirm/deny my suspicion.

For instance, being on a conference call and using the internet at the same
time, may be out of the question.   However, if the scenario is irrelevant
to you anyway -- tether away! :)
