Those of you who sort of "know me" on the list might know that in addition to my TP750C, I use a Gateway 2000 Desktop Machine (Didn't buy the Gateway Notebooks...I think you can guess why I'd prefer my TP!). At any rate, as a Gateway customer, I am entitled to buying certain peripherals from them and the prices are usually pretty good. I just noticed that they are offering a PCMCIA "X-Jack" modem for $249 (14.4K--by the way, does anyone know how much the MHz X-Jack is going for?). My presumption is that MHz makes this thing and Gateway just puts their name on it, since Gateway really doesn't "manufacture" anything--they just put parts together to form systems. I know that their internal modems are made by U.S. Robotics and are the same as an Internal Sportster, so it stands to reason they may have an agreement with Megahertz to do the same. Can anyone (especially you MHz lurkers) confirm this? And if so, is this "Gateway" model the same as the 1144 or the 1244, or is there some differences in features? I presume if its the same thing with a different label, then it will work fine in my ThinkPad too. I am holding out for the MHz 28.8K V.34 modem and will be curious to see if Gateway will carry their "version" of this MHz PCMCIA modem and how much cheaper (if at all) it will be. ----- Randy Whittle whittle@chaph.usc.edu University of Southern California School of Business (Fight on, 'SC Trojans!) - Motorcycle nut, HP 48GX & 100LX user, & lover of fine chocolate...
