In the Bad Old Days some people used their
phones, courtesy of Circuit Switched Data (CSD)
and a connecting cord.. as a " modem " to make
dial-up connections. It was slow and used
up minutes, but had its points.

I tried a couple of times with Macs and never
got anywhere.

Now that there are Bluetooth phones
and Macs (and other systems..>) around,
it should be easier. Provided that CSD
is still available.

Has anyone tried doing this? For that matter,
is CSD still an option? I don't see it
on a web page.

(I'd be using it for periodic e-mail checks,
so the minutes and speed isn't too much
of a problem).

Many thanks.
