I guess USB could be used for the modem, but ugh. Hard to get it INSIDE the laptop. PCCard slots are already in use. External is possible but not as nice when you're looking for portability. I've got Telebit Trailblazers and 56k externals galore. Not too light and small. Bill -- -- Digital had it then. Don't you wish you could buy it now! pechter-at-gmail.com http://xkcd.com/705/
