Help How to use droid x as a dial up modem

[klsims]

Copied this from a 2010 thread with no solution.

Is it possible to use a DroidX as a dial-up modem? I'm not talking about a cable modem or some way to get on the Internet, but rather dialing into a remote server via an analog phone connection. Examples being old-school BBSes or RAS/DUN servers.

Most if not all the Motorola Phones I've had over the years have this capability, and given the Droidx is seen by my Linux laptop as both a USB storage device and Network device is there any way to set it up as a USB modem that could accept AT commands from a terminal program and dial out to a remote modem?

Verizon has discontinued Circuit Switched Data (the technical term for using your cellphone as a plain old telephone). I think T-Mobile is the only carrier in the US who still offers this -though the speeds are fairly low (14.4 kbps)

Like great arbor said, you're pretty much out of luck. Really curious as to why you need to do this though...

It should also be noted that most start phones (not sure about Droid x) do not have the hardware needed to modulate the signal.
