What is iPhoneModem?
iPhoneModem enables sharing of the iPhone's Internet connection with your Mac or PC.
It's a simple and small footprint application for the iPhone and the Desktop Computer that anyone can use in a few seconds.
iPhoneModem is available for jailbroken devices using the Cydia package manager on the phone.
To make connecting a one-click task, you should also download the helper application for your computer.
How does it work?
iPhoneModem has two sides: the Modem application on the iPhone and the iPhoneModem helper for the Mac or the PC.
On the computer, the helper application creates a new computer-to-computer (or ad-hoc) WiFi network and configures the system preferences to use the iPhone as an Internet gateway and proxy.
On the iPhone, the application opens a routing engine, DHCP, DNS, HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS proxies and connects to the helper on the computer.
