Re: acoustic modems and cellular phones

I have read bits and pieces out there on the internet. Some say it
won't work and some say it just won't work at high speeds. As far as
I'm concerned 300 baud would be ok and 1200 baud would be smokin'. Are
you certain it won't work?

Unfortunately I cannot use a cell phone with built-in modem. GSM is
the only available service and GSM phones do not use standard modem
protocols. I would have to subscribe to WAP service in order to
connect to the internet with my phone. This would be fine and good but
the third-world-country-factor needs to be taken into account. I have
to jump through all kinds of crazy bureaucratic hoops to get WAP access
from the phone company. Even then, I've been told that the service is
expensive and rarely functioning.
