That journey often stirs painful memories. Before 1943, six decades of restrictions barred Chinese immigrants from entering the U.S. The few allowed in were interrogated at length, and their detailed case files offer invaluable though sometimes heartbreaking information.

Now, however, coverage is spotty, with smaller places unserved. Worse, there are three different digital "languages"--one used by AT&T, for instance; another by Sprint; and a third, known as GSM, that is big in Europe and offered here by Omnipoint. Alas, they can't understand one another...
