What I do is pop my memory card, and insert a modem card. This has two
benefits.
1. Most my packages are on the card, so removing it frees up a lot of heap,
just for NIE.
2. By putting most of my packages on the card, I have more room on my
internal store for data, especially email. :-) I heartily recommend it.
Doing it this way also makes it easy to do card backups of all my data. The
only data on my card is several hundred names that aren't important, but
nice to have in case. :-)
