I'm interested in using my iBook & cell phone for a simple modem
dial-up application. (Not ISP, just plain character mode ala BBS.)
I see tantalizing hints that suggest I should be able to get a data
cable (available at Radio Shack for about $20) and C-Kermit should be
able to use the cell phone as a modem.

OS X actually has quite good support for cell phones connecting
to the Internet. Trouble is, most of the providers and
manufacturers haven't figured this out yet. For example, Apple
fully supports the Motorola V120, and Verizon's scripts support
any AT-standard phone, which includes all of Motorola's lineup.

How To Use Your CDMA Cell Phone as a
USB Modem on Mac OS X
(a.k.a. the Wireless Internet you already have)
strongly suggest that I should be able to get a data cable and
OS X 10.2 will recognize the cell phone as a modem.
If that works, what do I need to do to have C-Kermit dial out
through it?? To be honest, I've only used Kermit as a telnet
client, so I don't even know how to use it with the iBooks's
internal modem (yet!)
I _presume_ once I know what these device names are for set
line, I should be able to figure out the commands to get either
connected. What would the cell phone modem device be??
Anyone have experience using Kermit via a USB cell phone
on OS X?
