Your email client has somehow managed to make my normally-quite-reliable email client quote in quite an unorthodox manner. Possibly you could consider not using HTML mail.

The GSM standard supports upto 14400, but only a handful of newer phones support it. That means, if I buy a PCMCIA- 56K- Modem- Card, and dial in with my Handy that can only do 9600, is it necessary to buy a 56K- Card!!? Huh? Since when do you need a PCMCIA modem card to connect to a data service using your mobile? I've got a 5110 which I can use to connect to the Internet using a special Nokia serial cable. You need gNokii though. #Is there no way to get a fast connection up to 56K, when I dial in through my handy??# GSM doesn't support speeds that high. As Morten Vinding Nielsen pointed out, you can "bundle up to 3 channels to get 43.200 bps". But, as he said, this is only available on a few handsets and only supported by as many opperators. Then there's the issue of FreeBSD support for it. You could get comparable connection speeds to that of a standard analog phone line (which in reality give you no more than about 46000-48000bps) with your mobile, -in theory-. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Must you litter your message with lines that are far longer than 72 characters? It does make it very hard to read and respond to. I can buy an old Nokia handy, for example a Nokia 6150. I'd recommend the 5110 which does a stirling job when used with the Nokia serial cable and Gnokii. Maximum connection speed is 9600, though. I want to know, if the PCMCIA- Card, I mentioned before is supported for FreeBSD... THX @YOU, & I hope you will answer as soon as possible... :) I'm sure people will answer as soon as they feel able.
