1. Is there a HOWTO on this that can suggest specs and models of low-end phones for net access from my Linux laptop?<BR>
<BR>
2. If my phone account doesn't provide a direct net connection of some kind, is it practical to telephone my ISP's dial-in modems and run that way?<BR>
<BR>
Some notes make it look just like setting up PPP through a modem and others seem more like a network link. I have a couple of half-*ssed ideas about what's going on, but nothing solid.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks.<BR>
