With that ability the need for a huge hard drive is negated. We have been spending a few months away from home in the winter and have been lugging my less than light and very expensive laptop. This would be a great alternative and I would buy one in a heart beat if I could do the remote access. Plus if lost or damaged its not a huge loss. I'm surprised this ability is not mentioned in any of the articles I've read on this type of computer or is it just assumed everyone would have thought of it.

As of now, I don't see anything preventing that. That sounds reasonable Bill. As of now, I don’t see anything preventing that.

There is a piece of software called <a href="http://www.junefabrics.com/palmnet/" rel="nofollow">PDAnet</a> that lets you do just that. There is also a <a href="http://discussion.treocentral.com/showthread.php?t=115986" rel="nofollow">hack</a> you can use on the Treo 700p that will achieve the same outcome, but for free. There may be an equivalent program for the Linux variant that runs natively on the Eee, but I don't know for sure.

Got a question for ya if you don't mind. The Foleo was designed to "teather" to the Treo. How easy/hard would it be to connect to the Internet on the Asus EEE via a Treo? Hey Rob,

Thanks for the great post. Got a question for ya if you don’t mind.
