Re: Telstra ADSL and Linux, a couple of dumb questions......

Yes on WiFi hotspot using Android, but most 2.x devices are too old to support 4G or new, but too budget to have all the right radios. The biggest problem with older gear is the radios that are supported -- that's the biggest reason to /need/ to update mobile phones too. Still, I think it is better to run a dedicated router, such as a Netgear WND3700 or newer, just make sure it is supported -- of course this is less good when you are out and about, but great for fixed locations -- you can use an inverter in the car, but it will be more hassle than just using WiFi hotspot.
