I'm in the market for a portable fax/modem. I use 2 different PCs and 
would like to purchase a fax/modem that I can carry easily and attach
to the serial port of either machine (since they are in different locations).
The WorldPort 2496 on specs alone, would seem to fulfill my needs, but are
there alternatives? Particularly, are the alternatives cheaper than the
WorldPort 2496, which sells for about the equivalent of $750 US in 
Australia.
Thanks in advance.
