> how about a modem and a mobile phone...


Motorola recently built such an animal (rumor: contracted by IBM for use by
salespersons). In the Microsystems announcements section of the August issue
of IEEE Computer, they describe the KDT800, which "uses two-way digital
radio to provide real-time communications between people and computers. It
operates at 4800 bps over standard 25 khz or 12.5 khz channels..."

Although the price was not indicated, I heard that the pocket
computer/terminal was in the $3000 range!
