Hm... I agree with the previous poster that it really depends on the phone eg. whether or not it's data capable, and how you plan to connect the phone to the laptop. Phone that can "browse the web" are usually data capable. You also need to know how to connect to the ISP/gateway. Depends on the service provider ot the phone, some of them has it's own. This maybe rather un-related, but for example, I've been using my Sprint phone that is data capable to connect my laptop to the internet. It connects to the computer as a USB device (got to buy the special data cable to do so), and then all I needed to do is to write the chat script and use pppd to connect to the service provider. It works beautifully, really cool especially when used when travelling. The laptop is running Redhat 7.3 Hope that helps.
