I'm a little confused (what else is new ;-) I thought the original point of mComm was that it could run headless and did not require any client other than TELCOM on the M100. Is that a different/older version, Windows vs. Android, or??? m - Original Message - From: "Kurt McCullum"

*All* of them? Are you sure? Even the left-most one? I always believed that there were only two models (in NA): 26-3801, an 8K base memory version with three expansion sockets, and 26-3802, a 24K base memory version with only one expansion socket. What's your model (and serial) number? m
