I'm forwarding this to the regular Vanagon list because I too would like to
learn what options there are.  It would be very useful to be able to access
the list (and email/internet in general) via my laptop when I'm camping in
my Westy over the summer!  My laptop has a modem but don't believe there is
any way to interface it with my cell phone (a digital Audiovox with Bell
Atlantic service, in my case).  Is this strictly a function of the
individual cellular carrier's capabilities, or is there a universally
adaptable solution?
