Some cell phones will actually present to the computer when connected USB as a dial up
modem. In the past I was able to connect at 14.4kbps with one. It has been a while
though.

Hmmm, given the number of people who no longer *have* a landline, how well does a modem
work with cell connection?
I have had absolutely no luck at all getting a modem to work through a cell phone. Not
even at 300 baud. No problem doing 33.6 over a VoIP connection, but modems just won?t work
with a cell phone. Not by patching in through the headphone jack, not through an acoustic
coupler, nothing.
I have a standing challenge on the RetroBattlestations community
(retrobattlestations.com) that if someone can demonstrate getting a modem to work through
a cell phone I?ll send them an entire set of retro stickers. http://imgur.com/a/iAS5T
