The T39 supports both dialup (CSD, HSCSD) and GPRS. What you can actually use
depends on your carrier and how your account in provisioned, since special
support is needed both for dialup and for GPRS. In either case, the ISP could
be your carrier, or a standard dialup ISP, again depending on your carrier and
what service(s) are provides.

Make sure your account is provisioned properly for what you're trying to do.
Test the Internet connection with the email client in the phone.

What you really need is a Bluetooth adapter on your laptop or PDA; to "pair"
the laptop or PDA with the phone; and the proper modem configuration in your
laptop or PDA.
