Derek..
i have run two modems in a TP, even calling myself..
sometimes its tough to turn off the internal modem and NOT have win9x find it
again and again..
i had one 600 for a few hours then sent it to germany so no time to really get
to know it..
it IS a super machine..
no experience with this xircom modem/lan card.. but i wonder why the dongle
issue, the tel line plugs into the TP with only the cable..
is the xircom a wirless unit..??
