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
