My impression is that the server is not on the net. Just a direct
dialup. Must be a TRS80 or something.

Looks like we may be spending a month on the boat in
September. No problem with that except we can't just cut the
cords and sail away. 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 Marsat.





You should do something about your lame server. What's with
the 28K modem crap?

T-mobile has a pcmcia card for laptops that sends and receives
over their wireless network at around 256K. 39 bucks a month
unlimited access. Time to get your business outta the dark ages.
It's surprising you can afford a vacation at all.
