[WT-support] Connecting an android phone

[Bob Wilson, N6TV]

Luc,

If you are using a Windows XP desktop computer with no WiFi, you can use a
USB connection to the phone for Internet access, but you must install some
special drivers.

See https://support.google.com/android/answer/182134?hl=en and click on *USB
Tethering with Windows XP* to expand the instructions.
