[comp.dcom.telecom] Modems With Cellular Telephones

RAF@cu.nih.gov (Roger Fajman) (10/22/90)

Some people here would like to use a laptop PC and modem with a
celluar telephone for the purpose of giving demonstrations in various
locations where a modular jack may not be available.  Can anyone
recommend cellular telephones and adapters for this purpose?  We don't
have a particular cellular telephone yet -- it would be purchased
specifically for this.  The phone would be stationary, of course,
while the demonstration is going on, but would be inside various
buildings.

A related question is how well various modem technologies work over
cellular telephones.  We are mainly interested in v.22bis (2400 bps)
and V.32 (9600 bps) so that so special modem would be needed at the
other end.  Is it important to have MNP or V.42 error correction?
