Hi all, I have a 3400 powerbook and am thinking of getting a mobile phone and would like to be able to use the two together. At the moment I just pack up my desktop modem when I travel, and as I would rarely have to connect the phone to the powerbook I thought a data phone (such as the mondial reviewed in July's Macuser) might be the ideal solution. However, finding out which mobile data phones work with macs, and even getting further information on the mondial is proving difficult. Has anyone any experience of using a data phone with a mac? If not can anyone recommend a data/modem card for use with a powerbook? I have also been reading about the com-1 mc220 56k data/modem card which can then be used with a variety of phones. Would this be the best option? I thought perhaps if I had to buy a data card a data card/modem card would be the best but this is �270... any suggestions... thanks Lisa http://www.inscot.demon.co.uk (get your free animations here!)
