Siemens S46 built-in Modem use with a Laptop?

[ngat]

Hi,

I posted this same mesage on another forum but got no response, perhaps here someone has experience.
=======
I want to connect my lap top (has a built in analog modem) or PDA (also has an external analog modem) to a AT&T phone to get my e-mail form any ISP using POP3 mailbox.

Within the GSM/GPRS area the Siemens S46 can download the e-mail. But if I want to download large attachments I want to use my computer.

My confusion:

The Laptop has a built in analog modem.
The S46 is a digital phone (it has no attachement to the RJ11 modem cable)
Do I use the the analog modem or the digital modem in the S46?
Data sheets on S46 do not explain the details. AT&T wireless store people have no clue, AT&T phose support are totally lost on this.
Anyone knows?

Can I make this work in side the GSM/GPRS only? Can I make it work in the TDMA area?


My ISP and cell phone are AT&T.

Any suggestins how to do that while I travel virtually all over the US (big cities and out in the boonies)?

Thanks,

This was very easy set up. I tried to go thru my own ISP as well, but this was so easy, I went with it.

Hope it helps.

Download speeds are about 53K on the GPRS network through the phone...good but not great.

Anyone getting faster throughput using the aircard? I am considering switching.
