Has anyone ported linux to cellular phones?

Is there an Xconfig file for the 'little LCD'?

:-)

The Sound User's Guide *does* mention something about something
that'll do GSM sound compression - where GSM, for you on the wrong
side of the pond (;-) is a great new European cellular phone standard.
Food for thought...

No, but I seem to remember there is a device driver for suction cups
around somewhere...

GSM is an international standard which originated in Europe, but which
should work worldwide (I understand the USA has been slow to adopt it
and may not have it yet).

Certainly one of its big selling points here (Australia) is you can
take your digital mobile with GSM card overseas and continue to use it
without messy pre-arrangements with service providers (at this stage
limited to only those OS service providers with agreements with your
local phone company).

Back to the original question, I missed the initial post but many
mobile phones can be used with a modem via an adapter.  Don't expect
great throughput on the older analogue systems (4800 baud is about
what you can expect).  Digital mobiles should be better.

Cheers.
