we use nextel phones with our laptops on the road. basically
you get the right cable, and with nextel you need the data option
on the phone which costs us about $5/month more. you hook the phone to the laptop and launch dial up networking just like using a modem. although at 9600 baud, e-mail and text based sessions
are the most pratical uses.
