Wowzers! 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.

Not quite. 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. Hoping isn't
going to improve the chance :-)
