The Migent modem never was line powered; it had a 9v. battery.  I 
believe they went out of business.  Another company that makes 
pocket-sized modems is Touchbase Systems (WorldPort modems) in 
Northport, NY; 516-754-3491.

Practical Peripherals recently announced (see last week's PC Week) a 
credit-card-sized line-powered pocket modem.  This one really 
doesn't have a battery, but draws its juice from the RS-232 
connector when on-hook and the phone line when off-hook.  They're 
located in Westlake Village, CA.
