Re: 56kbps PCMCIA modem recommendations?



Keep in mind, folks - two different 56k standards.  Be sure to buy the
one
that'll work with whoever you're thinking of calling.  They both can, of
course, step down to 33.6, so it shouldn't be too big a hit if it
doesn't;
I, myself, would probably just go with a 33.6, 'cause it's unlikely
you'll
ever see true 56k throughput.

Just my $.02 worth...
