Following up my original posting (and thanks to all for responses to that),
I phoned o2 support and was given the manual settings that need to be
entered into Nokia's PC Suite to set the N95 up as a working modem for my
laptop.

Just entering "02 England" into Connect Using does not work - it's more
complicated than that.

:-/

It's still a bit flaky - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't for no
apparent reason - and it seems to confirm o2 are not keen to encourage this
sort of usage which is odd. If they were, I presume they would offer it as a
texted Settings message.
