Thanks for your answer.
How exactly are data transmitted differently than voice? I am aware
that the GSM-net is digital, however I thought that the task of the
phone was to act as little more than an a/d converter, converting the
voice into a digitall transmitable format. Thus I also thought that
the "modem" (which then hardly is a modem) just bypassed this
conversion.
And, well. France Telecom will bill me about 72FF/month for such
service. (But then I also get lots of other unusefull stuff such as
two extra phone-numbers for fax and incomming data - and no, I cannot
just get it simple....) I guess to you people "over there" this
ammounts to some USD10/month - which is quite a lot.....
