Abstract
A system, method, and a program embodied in a computer readable medium are provided for network tunneling. In one embodiment, a network tunneling method is described that comprises the steps of providing a client linked to a network, simulating an operation of a modem in the client with respect to a portable device, and tunneling a network access by the portable device from the client to a network portal.
Claims18
A network tunneling method, comprising:
- providing a client linked to a network;
- simulating an operation of a modem in the client with respect to a portable device;
- and
- tunneling a network access by the portable device from the client to a network portal.
A program embodied in a computer readable medium that provides network access tunneling, comprising:
- code that simulates an operation of a modem in a client with respect to a portable device;
- and
- code that tunnels a network access by the portable device from the client to a network portal through a firewall between the client and the network portal.
A network tunneling system, comprising:
- means for simulating an operation of a modem in a client with respect to a portable device;
- and
- means for tunneling a network access by the portable device from the client to a network portal through a firewall between the client and the network portal.
A network tunneling system, comprising:
- a client with a processor circuit having a processor and a memory;
- a local data communications portal;
- and
- network tunneling logic stored on the memory and executable by the processor, the network tunneling logic comprising:
- logic that simulates an operation of a modem in the client with respect to a portable device to establish a data communications link with the portable device through the local data communications portal;
- and
- logic that tunnels a network access by the portable device from the client to a network portal through a firewall between the client and the network portal.
