Yup, unless you are in Ricochet regions, there is CDPD and Ardis and one other, but CDPD is the most popular/supported. Since you have a Win95 werable I will bring up a thought I was having. While the sound quality wouldn't be the best at 19.2 you could use internet phone with a POTS gateway and have an unlimited cellphone for $55 too as well as data, thought I wouldn't do it too much at the same time. Does anyone know of an IP->POTS gateway product/software? To implement the above with your own net connection on one line and the outgoing on the other end. It would be wonderful.
