I need to buy a modem card for my Dell Inspiron 7000. I would prefer one that only takes one of the two slots, so as to be able to run dialup and Ethernet concurrently. I current have a 3C589 for the lan connection (and a 3C575BT awaiting cardbus support :-) so I'd prefer to avoid a combo card. It would be nice if the modem could talk to my cell phone, too. I will also be doing some travelling to the UK. I'm not sure if that would have an impact on the modem talking to the cellphone. Can any of you make a recommendation for a suitable card? The Xircom CM-56 (CreditCard 56k) looks like it will do the job. I'm not sure about the difference between the CM-56T and the CM-56G (the Glocal Access version); it's not at all clear from the marketing speak on their web site what Global Access actually is. Is it going to buy me anything under UNIX? --lyndon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
