I hope this isn't off topic. 
	I am in an area where there is no local ISP. I have a cellular phone,
and just purchased a Motorola SLN3032A dialtone generator. It seems to work
. My celphone is local to anywhere in the areacode at a mere 2 cents a minute
-vs- $.18 per minute.

	I actually have two problems. The first is I get bumped within the 
first 10 minutes. Usually. Are there better modem settings to deal with the
less than perfect connection conditions, where it at least won't hang up?
Also, I am using ppp for the protocol (pppd), fro/FreeBSD-current (3.0).

	The second is power life. I will probably have to hack a dead battery
pak to a power supply. The best battery for the cel phone is 50 mins talk time 
from what I go out of the tech at my Cellular carier. Is there something like
this already on the market at non-Motorola prices?




	Thanks a million in advance. Eric...
