I went to the verizon website and searched for wireless isp. I looked
at their win98 hookup instructions which said could use either their
driver or standard modem driver. Sounded to me like it could be
attached to a serial port, set the dialler to com1 or what your serial
port is, dial their internet access number (verizon is #777) and your
there. I didn't see anything that would leave me to believe Os/2 would
not work this way.
Maybe with serial port hookup and standard hayes commands cell hookup
is not os specific.
