I have a Bluetooth enabled cellphone, can I get a PCMCIA type card that will allow my laptop to use that connection for mobile internet access?

Andy, what is the make of your phone and who is your carrier? I have a motoroal v710 that has bluetooth on it. Verizon does a wonderful job at crippling the bluetooth features on the phone. The only thing that I can use the bluetooth is for the headset. I can't transfer files between the phone and computer. I can't establish a internet connection using the phone as a modem. I ended up having to hack into the phone to enable everything.

I read these posts and it all sounded like gibberish to me?

Motorola V550, Cingular.

At a meeting the other day, my boss "informed" me that it was OK for me to go on my scheduled vacation next month as long as I could still review files etc while I am gone.

sucks...... but since they pay the cell bill, I figured this would be the best way to stay connected.
