I have a Toshiba T1000 laptop, and love it!  I've already expanded
the memory to 1.2 Mb, and now I'm ready to finish off the package
with a modem.  I definitely want a 2400 baud modem (or higher if I
find a fantastic deal).  Unfortunately, there is only one vendor
that makes an internal 2400 baud modem that will fit my tiny T1000,
and I have three problems with them.  The first is that this is a new
product for them -- the first ones won't get shipped until probably tomorrow.
The second is that I know nothing about the company (Product R&D).
The third is the price -- even at a discount through the place where
I bought my T1000 it is still $410.

The Zoom modem that has been discussed here sounds very nice, and I would
be willing to settle for an external modem if it is good quality, a decent
price, and *small*.  Does anyone know of such an animal?  I've been poring
through computer shopper and have found good deals on Avatex external
2400 baud modems -- any experience with these.  Ideally I'd like to get
a pocket 2400 baud modem w/software for under $250.

Any help would be very much appreciated -- try to use e-mail and I'll
summarize if enough people are interested.
