If your local cellular carrier has CDPD (Cellular Digital Packet Data) you
may be able to use it.  The raw data rate is 19.2K and most users see about
9.6K.  It is billed on a per packet basis so it could be expensive for a very
continuous data stream.  CDPD is just getting started so most cellular carriers
still do not have it.
