Well, for what it's worth, I have an Intel 14.4/14.4 PCMCIA modem. Works fine, so far. I haven't really pushed it too much, though. Lately I've not been travelling, and my desktop machine is leaps & bounds better than my TP. I'm using Intel's drivers. They're made by SystemSoft, and they were much much better than the 1st set of IBM's drivers. Haven't tried EasyPlay yet. Actually, with everything loaded, using DOS 6.2, I've got around 560K of mem left. Not terrific (we're so spoiled, in these days of decent memory managers -- I remember being satisfied with 490) but not bad, either, as I haven't had to use multi-boot or tweak anything by hand. I forget if this was a topic on the mailing list or the PCMCIA board... it was pointed out by someone that all this talk about 16550 or 16450 on the PCMCIA cards is interesting, but needs to be qualified -- it's all emulation, and he was wondering whether the 16550 emulation really made a difference over 16450 emulation, since it's not really hardware but software based. But, of course, it could be that I'm wrong. - Andrew
