what you probably want is a Nokia phone + the data cable for £30 (URL
mentioned in gnokii thread) + gnokii, http://multivac.fatburen.org/gnokii/.
gnokii intends to allow a supported nokia phone to emulate a modem. And so
you could dial in to your ISP with your mobile.
However, mobile phones are currently limited to 9600bps iirc, and call
charges are dead expensive.
