To extend this thread a little I'm interested in line (or internal
battery) powered portable modems with MNP 5 that are cheap (just think
of this as an SQL request!). We have heard a bit about the Danmark modem
but it has no MNP. I have heard mentioned that the Practical Periperals
Pocket Modem has MNP 5 and cost $99 (is this right?). Are there any others?

What modems do people recommend for laptop/palmtop use?

E-mail or post replies.

Thanks
Kevin
