I have a bunch of 3Com/USR/Megahertz "Cellular" PCMCIA modem cards.

The alternate possibility would be the "Cellular" part is a true modem, and 
the cable is an analog connection to the cell's transmit and receive pairs.

Anyway, the cables for these PCMCIA modems have long since disappeared from 
the manufactur's catalog. They would be cell-specific, of course.
