I do it fairly often with my Motorola Timeport P280. The only slight issue is they don't have specific Mac drivers for it, so I have to select the terminal dial and manually ATDT it. Works well enough at a whopping 9600 baud. Good enough for e-mail and AIM, okay for browsing with images off. No real clue about the Nokia 252c. If it's not specifically mentioned in the phone's documentation, it probably can't do it. Mine actually responds like a real modem would when plugged into the serial port (IE, AT returns OK, it has various ATI strings, and I can ATDT dial it manually to my ISP). Slow, but functional :) Scott Holder -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
