Tom,

In sites where we can't get PSTN installed, we use the following :

We use CSD, but only over GSM, it won't work over 3G as I found out one day
:).

We are using Optus as a carrier, we just got CSD enabled on the SIM and a
separate data number, you just dial that number and the modem answers as
9600 and you have console! Works really well.
