Most pcmcia cards are compatable with the 5300c even pc pcmcia cards just
config them as generic pc card modems.
if you have a compact flash card in your camera the the pcmcia adapters are
easy to get on ebay and you could get a usb tri media reader for you desktop
combined price on ebay about £40. all in if you have the card already £70. all
in including a 32mb compact flash card. also see if you camera is mac and pc
friendly this would cut the software cost right down.
as for email away you could get a pcmcia to mobile phone cable and modem but i
think they are abit expensive or a ir modem I think that erricson still sell
them but again expensive.
