If your cellular has a phonejack (some do) then `you can use the XJ2144 to talk through it... ` `Kinda misleading, I would say... But then again, it is a pretty good modem ` `Art ` Yes, MNP10 protocol is for cellular phones. I think this protocol has been surpassed by others, eg. modems from Apex (I forgot the protocol name). It is very misleading. OK has anyone hooked up an Apex on a TP with a cellular? What kind of digital cellulars does it support?
