not sure what you are after then. I haven't seen a way to hook up to it
in a "modem" fashion, so you can call dialups (like older serial BBS
modems) on any phone.
The cell phone perhaps could provide a connection. A friend used the
cell via Wifi tethering to a PC. Then set up a route command to make
it primary and function as a router outside. Then connect to the
network via other devices, including the voip box.
That's tangential to what I'm wanting to do.
The vonage for voice worked, but not sure if it could do much more
than 2400 or such (whereever you can function in modem protocol land
w/o phase coherency.)
was glad the pile worked at all.

I wonder what level / speed of fax you manged to get to work.
didn't check or care. The machine ran full blast and sent over a
reasonable copy(copies).
I've heard that under optimal situations, sometimes 14.4 can be
persuaded to work.
I know USR should be able to tell, and I used the best version I've
seen, a 56k one. Would be interesting to query it.
We were in the center of Santa Ana with a very close in cell site, BTW.
I wouldn't expect the distance to the cell site to make much
difference. At least not as long as there were no drop outs in the
cell signal / connection.
Makes a big difference on T-mobile. if it works at all. Actually they
suck. but I'm not interested in dealing with the billing @ other
companies. T-mobile is creeping towards not being useful though.
I was interested in two problems here, one to run an office or network
on my cell. And the other to use the old modems to dial into dialup
services.
World in Boston still has dialup into their service, which is a remote
shell service.
