I think this is the way to go, actually. Even the modem in my mobile can 
work as a real modem (if you select "analog" connection type) or as kind 
of fake modem transport (if you select "digital" there are no analog 
signals involved), suitable for networks providing TCP/IP over GSM 
modem. It is still slow (9600 bps or something like that, I think) but 
slightly more reliable and makes more sense as GSM is, after all, a 
digital transport.

As new user of the PC-3100, I've been really impressed. The keyboard IS 
usable and the display IS comfortable, even if you are, like me, used to 
TFTs. I in fact prefer LCD for text editing: I don't need colors and I 
can see it better even under direct sunlight, after all mobility is what 
this is all about!
