Nolan,

   I always connect mobile-phone to Mac PB/G3 PCMCIA-Slot
with PCMCIA-cable (about USD$80.00 in Japan).
G3 has 56.6 modem. But, I connect to the network without
passing through this G3-modem. Mobile-phone does acting of
the G3-modem. But, this system is a little slow. About 9600..
"Email transmit reception" doesn't have troubles at all.
This system sends one pict in about 20 seconds. (120kb/JPG)
If you had this system, maybe you will be able to send email
from Rocky.

Hope that you understand this concept.

I don't know US's mobile-phone surroundings. Many Americans
purchase that cable (Windows/PC & Mac) in Japan, and come back
to the home. I think that US and Japanese mobilephone surroundings
are about the same.You will probably be able to find that cable in
the US, too. If you hope, I will up this systems pix to my web.
Mobile-phone, PCMCIA-cable, and PB-G3..

Hope this helps.
