There is also a 16750 UART, the problem with both of them is that you probably won't be able to get more the 128kbps unless both your end and the other support the same form of compression. The cost in my area (So. Cal.) usually runs no more then $50. with many brands at $35 to $40. I would suggest you beware of any card that says it uses a chip that is "equvilant to" either the 16650 or the 16750 UART. Get the real thing if you can. Hope this helps good luck.
