LG 8600 as a Modem

I currently have a 6100 but I am do for an upgrade later this month. I want this phone after doing some research, however, I still don't know if I can use this as a modem for a laptop for internet access the same way as I do with my 6100.

I currently do not have a verizon wireless internet access plan but I can hook my LG 6100 to my laptop and access the internet with "minutes only" being charged. The speed is a little faster than dial-up. It is a great feature for traveling and camping.

The link posted a few days ago seems to be dead for the usb modem driver. I just want to know if anyone else has been able to use this phone as a modem with the minutes only connection.

Thanks, SJ
