I use a 3Com modem card with special cable to a Nokia 6162 cell phone (AT&T
system).  It's slow (usually 4800 bps) but it works wherever I can get an
analog connection.  There are phones that take a direct serial connection
(cheaper and faster) but these only work when you're in a digital service
area.  I dunno about "surfing the archives" though -- I think you need a
regular phone or a satellite connection or such for that.  I can just
barely work on the web if I suppress all images.  Even email is tedious
since a lot of people now have signatures bigger than messages used to
be...not to mention HTML and >>>>>>infinite regression.
