I'd have to second that to some extent, and add that I *have* had another X-Jack "Clone" made by Practical Peripherals--man, was that thing a LEMON! It never could stay in--nothing but problems. But as for the Megahertz "originals" (they invented it & own the patent), the MHz I have right now with X-Jack works wonderfully with no problems--and its taken a bit of abuse too. Alas, it was a little hairy to use with my 701 (fold-out keyboard), but functional, and on the 560 I have to make sure I use the "upper" slot--the bottom slot doesn't work because the computer is so darn *thin* that the bottom part of the RJ-11 plug hits the table before it can lock into place in the X-Jack! ------- Randy Whittle rwhittle@usa.net USC Graduate School of Business http://www-scf.usc.edu/~whittle I'm for truth, no matter who tells it.
