It sold as 28.8 (V.34), but an upgrade to 33.6 is available on the TDK Systems web site. A docking station isn't necessary to use it; the card slides into one of the Type II slots, and has a cable with a flat connector to the PCMCIA card on one side and a RJ-45 (standard USA modular) connector on the other side. It has software for DOS, Windows 3.1, and Windows 95, and a few telephone connector adapters for use in other countries; using the included software and the correct adapter, the card is approved for use in about 70 different countries. I think that TDK Systems now sell a newer Global Class card, but I've been (and continue to be) happy with this one. Christian. -- Christian CAREY <ccarey@CapAccess.ORG>
