Sorry, apparently I wasn't clear. Mark is correct, I just want to use the cell phone network to make a connection between a PC that is connected to the internet and this remote PC running EMC2/Ubuntu Linux 10.04. The remote EMC2 PC would be on some offroad equipment - hopefully within range of a cell phone tower. I don't actually want to use a cell phone to access the remote EMC2 equipped PC. At one time the USB Cell phone modems were very popular but now I am seeing a lot more of the Wifi hotspot type devices which is not what I am looking for. I don't need a wifi connection in the middle to add to the confusion/complexity. I'd really like to have a remote desktop connection even if it updates a little slowly.
