It recognizes it as a cdc-adm device.

The phone already has unlimited wireless web access.
I am trying to figure out if there is a way to hook
into that.

I already asked.  They said they do not support connecting
a laptop to the phone.

I just figured it would be possible to use the Internet access
the phone already has.
