   Hello Richard,

   I think I am getting it now. I have always wondered why a device such as a   
   dongle for a laptop that can not be used to make telephone calls, needs a   
   telephone number. Well... it looks like these mobile devices still use an   
   equivalent of making a POTS modem call to the "ISP home gateway" to get on the   
   internet...   
      
   That is a revelation... ;-)   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
