I use a Motorola Timeport T280. It doesn't officially work, but if you manually ATDT it it works fine. Not sure about IrDA support, but the phone has a port for it. Naturally you're limited to incredibly slow speeds. I also had to track down a serial port adapter, but it works fine. Incidently, most DSL connections these days require a phone line with dial tone. Your area might be different, but most major providers only do lineshare now. Scott Holder -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
