OK, it just like the phone in your house. You have a modem inserted into your computer and you go about your business the same as if you were hooked to wire. Well, not exactly. Seems the cat out the bag on this little adventure. The AT&T and just about any data via wireless has a slight twist to it. All of this is done, presently, over analog circuits. Also, to do higher throughputs, you have to steal a technology the ham radio folks have been doing for years. Packet data is the technical term. CDPD is the cellular industry's term. These whiz bang GSM cellphones all have this button labeled 'Data'. That so it force's to an analog circuit. That something the GSM mullahs won't tell you. Prey on the niave consumer I suppose. At anyrate, the throughput via CDPD is suppose to be 19.2 Kpbs. One other thing, it is a special modem that does this. Your generic, el cheapo, 28.8 K modem won't do this. MAYBE 14.4, but most likely 9.6. If you like Tom, I'll post some URL's directing to sites that explain it in more depth. Maurice, throw water ballons at those noise neighbours!! Got a great catapult cheap!
