I have the IBM labeled version of this same modem, and I have to second the recommendation - especially since I do a lot of overseas travel, and it is nice to have a modem that understands every country's dial tone, ringer, busy signal, etc. (There's also something to be said for having an all-IBM system when it comes to service:-)
However, this modem is relatively expensive and doesn't have digital line protection. Janice should be assured that *any* PCMCIA modem should be fine in her machine, especially if she's using DOS or Windows as her OS. She should be able to find a perfectly serviceable 33.6 PCMCIA modem for under $50.
