Hi

I want to be able to connect to the internet from my laptop when away
from home/office . It seems that this is best done using a cellular
modem.

My current cellular phone is a samsun 811. I'm quite happy with it.
However it seems that the best connection I can get through it is
9600bps .

Newer phones seem to offer faster connection (around 64kbps), but only
through some USB interface. I couldn't figure from the tech support
guy I was talking to whether or not it can work with Linux.

some googling didn't give me muuch. Does anybody here has experince with
such a modem?
