    Is it possible that while I'm away from home I could use the iBook's 
internal modem
(or via my cell phone, perhaps) to dial in to the base station, and then 
use it's internal
routing to connect to the internet via my DSL connection (at dialup speeds, 
of course.)
My DSL provider (TELUS) offers roughly 5 "additional" dialup hours bundled 
for when
you're away from home, but I'd fast find this to be inadequate.
    Would this method work to circumvent their roaming limitations?
