Last time I used my cell phone (in the UK) it was over an irda connection and ppp dial up. Happy to share my outdated settings if you're interested, but I would think that your should be able to set up a bluetooth connection to your phone and use the GPRS connection which should be much faster than the 9600baud that my old phone could handle. Some of this may be useful to you: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Access_the_internet_with_your_cellphone_and_bluetooth_(UMTS/GPRS) -- Regards, Mick
