What Do you mean wit 'Mobile modems' ???
The GSM's ???
If yes, Iam using a NOKIA CardPhone v2 (bi-Bamd with HSCSD 38400Bps)
But please note, that not all Mobil-Phone-Provider support HSCSD and
you will have onlx 9600/14400 Bps.
In germany I can use all 4 Channels with Compression and I pay only
10 cents per Minute...
Sending FAX does work too. Receiving works only with a second telephone
number.
If you have not so much traffic Please ask your mobil-Phone-Provider
which Band (900/1800/19000) it supports. If 900MHz, you can find a very
cheep NOKIA CardPhone v1 on <http://www.ebay.com/> which support only
9600 Bps.
Please note, that I have a mobile Buro (in a MotorCaravan) with a whole
Network and an Access-Server with 4 PCMCIA-Adapters and 4 NOKIA Card-
Phones v2...
Baseprice is around 15 Euros for each Mobil-PhoneCard incl. second
Telephone-Number (e-Plus at Victorvox/Vodaphone Germany)
Oh yes, I use only the Nokia CardPhones v1 and v2 and the most powerful
Mobil-Telephone Siemens S40 (tri-Band which works in the USA too).
I hope this Helps
