As some of you know, the power requirements for PC Card
Modems varies greatly. The following information is to assist you in
selecting the appropriate modem. Additional factors should be included, such
as cellular capability and other features. All of these PC Card modems are
Type II cards. Also, you can use a CompactFlash
Modem with a PC Card adapter in lieu of a PC Card Modem.
If your modem is not listed here, please e-mail the
information to Chris De Herrera.
mA = Milliamperes. Each PC Card works at 5 volts. Lower
values indicate longer battery life.
