Hi everyone,

I'm exploring the possibility of using a GPRS mobile plan to connect to the Internet from my PC or laptop. Besides my PC and the mobile plan, what else would I need to set up the connection?

I understand that I should get a GPRS modem and connect it to my PC. But how then do I "dial up" to establish the Internet connection?

Is there any particular brand/model of GPRS modem that would be best for this kind of use?

If anyone has successfully configured this before, I would be grateful for any advice. Any links on this subject would be most appreciated too.

Thanks!
