Per a recent article in the magazine "Celluar News", standard modems are useable
over cellular phones.  According to the article, some top of the line phones
include either a rs-232 connector, or D connector for the modem to connect to.

Their report was basically:

no problem at 300.
generally good at 1200, but occassional dropouts, etc.
best results when vehicle was stationary, and not near a cell boundary
no test at 2400

Sorry I can't be more specific about the magazine.  It was one of those "free
subscription if you qualify (and who doesn't?)" jobs, which has since stopped
coming.
