Hopefully the following from the March 27, 1989 PC WEEK writeup
on the Rockwell RC224AT modem chip is a misprint, or maybe
a Three-Mile Island will be offered as an option:

		"Of particular importance to the laptop
	market is the fact that the RC224AT's 305-megawatt
	power requirement is the lowest available to
	date, according to Dudley Westlake, Rockwell's
	modem project manager.
		The chip's unique Auto Sleep mode -
	under which the chip requires only 37 megawatts
	of power when inactive - provides further power
	conservation, he said."
