cellular net access?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



If you mean that you want to use a modem over a cellular telephone 
connection, yes, you can do that if you have the requisite equipment and 
accounts. Obviously, you need a cell phone account, and you need a modem 
that knows how to use cellular, or a modem that can talk to a cell phone. 
My solution is the latter. My Audiovox 9000 has a data port and I connect 
to it over a serial cable. It is only 9.6, though. I don't know of 
anything faster. And, it can get expensive quickly because you can eat up 
the minutes very quickly this way.
