Business still has to be attended to and business is highly dependent on
computers and communications.

Is it possible or feasible to link a computer to a cell phone so that one
can access the Internet and, more important, send and receive data that
can only be managed through a dial-up connection? The server we deal with
is very unforgiving. One has to send data over a 28K dial-up line or it
just won't accept it.

Any thoughts or experience? It's a 37-foot sloop so we are not talking

Hi
I use both a cell phone (Near Shore) and a Globalstar phone (out of
country). The biggest problem is that you have to learn to live with
9600 bpi. I'm sure you can configure a phone to access your ISP. The
Globalstar has two options, dial up and a packet server.
Let me know if you need more details my email address works.
