ah, no, but what i have broken is the tabs of at least a dozen standard
phone cords. i would prefer to plug the dongle-thingie in and out of the
modem all the time instead of the phone cable, as standard phone cords are
not exactly breakproof, and i've never personally any "heavy-duty" phone
cables.

i'm not exactly interested in cell phone transfers.. as i don't exactly
possess a cell phone. sadness abounds. but i admit, it'd definitely rock
my face off. ;)
thanks for the help, i'll continue searching and let any interested parties
in on what i find.
