Re: [a/s] Net Connections on the Road

I use a Sharp TM-20 and a Motorola digital on analog mode for some of my 
mail.  It works pretty well, but you can't send or recieve attachments, and 
you can't surf the net, although a service called grab-page at grabpage.com 
allows you to get pages in text form.  I can see that in future I will need 
to get set up with a powerbook/notebook pc to cell phone modem to do my 
normal web activities and such.  Most useful is that you can use almost any 
phone and a 1-800 to access your messages, so that any phone you are near is 
a potential source of e-mail.  It's also very reasonably priced.  I got my 
unit on sale, and my month to month cost is less than $8.00/mo for unlimited 
messages both ways. If you had a modem in the "early days" you may be 
amused, as we were, by the way the TM-20 device interfaces with the phone.
