Can any of you gadget freaks recommend a good PCMCIA modem for use with a Nokia
6110 and a Powerbook ? Don't suggest the PSION Dacom GSM Gold Card - this is a
for a friend of mine who's now into his second one of those in a week, and while
the first was bad (throughput of as little as 200 bytes/second :-( ) this is
even worse - it doesn't even detect carrier.
A source of supply would be good too :-) - doesn't somebody here sell this kind
of stuff ? My friend needs this yesterday.
Kindest regards,

P.S. Topicality - well, the card will be in a Powerbook which will send files to
a modem on a Mac, which stores them on a Linux box running netatalk, from
where they are accessed for processing on another Mac, which sends them back to the
Linux box for further processing, which sends them via a Linux gateway to a Linux
web server. That looks like 3 Macs and three Linux boxes to me, so it's 50% on
topic which is damn good around here :-)
