Well... it turns out the 3COM 3CCFEM556 all over EBau
that I mentioned was one I had previously tried, and
couldn't get it to work correctly. I read a couple
other posts on the net were people had problems with
that model in their Libbys.
The only modem I can find info on that will work in
the Libbys is one you mentioned David.. The 3COM
3CXFEM656C, an X-jack modem you wrote was going for
$24.95 on buy.now on www.ebay.com back on Jan 2001.
The only one there now is going for $80, and the
cheapest I can find it is for $40 on pricegrabber.com.
So I'll just keep checking EBay from day to day I
guess.
Anyone else have any recommendations?
Thx,
Matt
