  Almost. :-)

  I connect from my Toshiba Portege 3025CT (using a pcmcia modem card) via
the Kyocera QCP-6035 to my shell account on Aracnet. But, ... and I've not
figured this out yet, the ppp connection instantly hangs up. Could be the AT
commands initializing the phone/modem or some setup in the phone itself.

  However, it *can* be done.
