I have just recently purchased a micro 
size 300/ 1200 baud modem from 
"Travelling Software". The modem is 
made by Touchbase Systems and is called
the 1200 World link.

I bought the modem for my Trs Model 200
laptop but I have also found that it 
works quite well with my Mac+ and I 
just "LOVE IT!!"

The modem  weighs less than 6 oz. and 
is smaller than a small pack of 
cigarettes!!! It runs off of a 9 volt 
battery. The battery operation is quite
efficent since the modem automatically 
shuts itself off if it is not being 
used for a minute. It also fires up 
automatically when you start your 
telecom software. I have used it 
extensively for over 4 weeks now and I 
haven't changed the battery!

Although the modem plugs right into any
standard RS232 computer port, a 8 or 9 
pin adapter cable was easy to make so 
that it can now work with my Mac+.

The thing that I like so much is that 
it is so SMALL and LIGHT that it has 
become a minimal but powerful addition 
to my Mac and laptop systems yet it 
adds almost no weight or bulkiness when
I have to carry these systems around.

If you would like a "micro size" 300/
1200 baud Hayes compatable modem for 
less than $199 then I would definitely 
suggest you look at this product!! I 
really enjoy it.
