Thanks to Zack and Yan for their replies, and to George Hadden for the email.
There seems to be quite a variety of experience (good, bad, in-between) with
the ComCall modem.  If they truly are sold out, then I guess my decision is
already made for me.

Can we expand this into a discussion on *all* pocket modems?  It seems to me
that, for about US$100, one can choose from several different ones.  Some 
suck power from the host computer (no! not my 95LX! auuggghhhh!), some from the
phone line, and some require an external "kick" from a 9V battery or 
transformer.

Which ones work best?  Has anybody tried the Hayes 2400bps one?  (sale price
$129 in Denver over Memorial Day...)
