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.
