Dave,
> How cool would that be?
I have one from T.Mobile which worked with a SIM card from TIM Brazil
with no problems.
I use it to surf the web via GRPS and can place or receive calls/faxes
(although I don't use it this way so much).

Roman Pixell used to have a page with a full description of the card
and a modem script to make it work with the Newton but the link I have
is not working anymore. I downloaded his script and the documentation
from Option's site and made my own script (you can use modem modifier,
Internet Setup, PT100 or something like this).

AFAIK, combo cards do not work with the Newton. :(

If you have all bits set accordingly (including any necessary password
/ network name / etc...) I believe that it will work.
