the splitter, just plug an RJ-11 phone line directly into the 'com' port. The Kanga does however need an extension for the enet/modem card to work, IIRC it's called something whacky like Powerbook 3400/G3 Modem. Dan K . http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org

the same basic pinout and devices designed for the 190/5300 can be used in the later 'Books. If you look at a Wallstreet's EBM connector you'll find the same part used there as well, but the pinout is not related to any other PB model's connector. Apple just liked that connector I guess. :-) Dan
