Well, I've seen it done with an Erricson model. If your friend is checking
his e-mail with a Palm, it's the same deal, unless he's using new software
from Palm (i.e., PalmOS 4 or above) with some features I've not heard of.
A typical conversation between the two would look something like this:
C: ATZ
P: OK
C: ATDT5551212
P: CONNECT 9600
[PPP LCP Configure-Request packet]
[etc.]
It's no different from plugging a serial cable into the computer's serial
port and plugging the other end into an external modem.
