Situation: PC running pcAnywhere, accessible via dial-up (you know that thing we used to use before broadband? :-)
At present I have to be sat in my office (or somewhere with a phone line), using a laptop with a modem in it, to dial in to site (the site does not have Internet access).
Can I use my Android mobile (Galaxy SII) as a traditional modem, eg via USB connection to PC? PC would ideally be Linux but I have pcAnywhere installed on both.
Back in the late 90s/early 2000s my Ericsson mobile phone could at as a modem to a PC and dial ISDN modems (e.g. at my ISP). If you still want to do this with plain old telephone lines then a random search turned up some of these: http://www.dabs.com/products/startech-com-usb-fax-modem-v-92-56k-7Y49.html
