   GSM is part of the link layer. Like ISDN. When I used it for data many moons   
   ago, I called a telephone number for Internet access, just like one did with a   
   POTS modem. It was the same number in fact. It was my understanding that there   
   were modem banks in the GSM exchange of the provider.

   If you say so. I am out of my leage here...

   You can check next time when you venture outside The Netherlands. I will do   
   the same when I get a chance.   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
