        G'day, Paul!

        The text-capable phones we've seen are pretty limited
        at least considering the length of mails usually seen
        here.

        How about some tried and true throwback technology...
        A simple ascii terminal (a la vt100) with a printer port
        and a modest modem should be obtainable next to free.

        Used with a "shell account" at a provider would be a fine
        text/email connection - worked for some of us for eons
        before the peecee.  Lacks the glitz of today but hey, for
        bang/buck it's hard to beat.  Shucks, this was how I kept
        a home connection until maybe two or three years ago.

        Good luck,
