Ok, the IBM CDPD PC-CARD modem I ordered arrived today. One thing that wasn't quite clear when I ordered it, while most of the electronics are in the PC-CARD, there is an external transmitter unit. Its a little bulky, but is very light. Probably could be broken down but I haven't looked inside it yet. It comes with a Jabra headset. This looks like it was manufactured in 1995. I beleive these were surplussed. Too bad because it looks like its about the right product for 1999.... There are no technical docs, and the software is windows only. I'm going to start working on Linux drivers for it. Did anyone else on the list buy one of these? Want to cooperate on drivers? The "IBM Wireless Modems Technical Reference" has an IBM part number of: SC30-3692 and contains everything necessary to write a driver... but I don't have a copy of it. Anyone know how to get such documentation? IBM is such a large company and this product being 3 years old, I don't hold out great hopes of easily getting my hands on this manual... but I will start trying. Jay -- Worried about Y2K?
