My Samsung D600 phone appears as a modem when I plug it in. It also charges from the USB connection. I believe most GSM phones with USB cables work, so a cheap phone may be an option. Also IIRC, you can buy USB <-> PC-Card adaptors so that may give you further options. Cheers, Dave -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
