   Very exciting news for collectors of old cellphones:
   There's ways again to get data connectivity on devices which don't support GPRS/packet data.

   This Nokia Communicator 9110 is running DOS on a AMD x86 CPU and is connected to the internet via a 9600bps CSD call through a private GSM network!

   The Osmocom free/open GSM stack gained CSD support over the last months and it now actually works :)

     @manawyrm my roommate is the phone nerd here and I'm definitely gonna get her to set this up, since I've got several 90s cellphone-PDAs that could use some connectivity
