Can a modem be plugged in the mouseport by using a cheap converter (mice and 
modems use different types of serial ports)? My problem is that I'm 
considering a notebook with only a mouseport (not PS/2) and PCMCIA II. I 
already have a pocketmodem, but not a PCMCIA II modem. Are all PCMCIA 
modems of type II. If not, would a type I fit in type II?
