[mod.telecom] Cellular Modems

Hi,
	I got two questions about cellular telephones and particularly
connecting modems to a cellular radio telephone.

1) Is there any good reference(s) on cellular radio telephones out there?

2) If we are dealing with a stationary cellular radio (it only operates
when it is stationary) and say a land line, is it possible to use
with the phone a phone line modem? My understanding of the problem of
modems and cellular radio is that when such radios switch from cell
to cell, there is a small break that causes Carrier Detect on the modems
to go down and break the connection. Is this correct? Is this the only
problem in this scheme?

thanks for your help,

Jose
