Yes, if you've got the right equipment. If you're on an analog or TDMA
cellular system (AT&T, GTE, Southwestern Bell) in the US, just get the
right pcmcia modem (Smart, Xircom, 3Com Megahertz all make 'em) and the
appropriate cable to go from that modem to your cell phone. Modems can
be had as cheaply as $99, and the cable goes for as little as $59.

If your local cell system is GSM (Voicestream in US, most systems in
the rest of the world) or CDMA (Primeco, Sprint in the US), then all
you'll need is a cable to go to your phone, which in most instances has
a modem built in, or infra-red connections on both, depending on the
phone. The CDMA/GSM cables for as little as $129, from what I've seen.

Don't expect blazing speed for a while. TDMA/ANalog connections top out
at 9600 bps, and the CDMA speed maxes at 19,200 bps.

Hope this help.
