What if anything is available to get a cell phone to act as a dial-up modem? OS/2 would be nice but I will settle for Win.
I did this on my previous laptop with the help of Cingular. I had the choice of paying by the byte or just treating it like an ordinary phone call and just being charged minutes. I chose minutes.
I had not done it for a while, had to replace the laptop, Cingular has become AT&T, who now tells me I can't do that any more. They now insist on a separate data plan which is not cost effective for occasional use.
On the desktop I can get free dial-up from several ISPs. If I can get the OS to treat a cell phone as a modem I should be able to do it with a laptop.
