[comp.dcom.modems] Discovery Pocket Modem 2400 PM

Mario_Capellari@turtle.stgt.sub.org (Mario Capellari) (05/14/91)

Hy!

I have bought the Discovery Pocket Modem. This modem support V42. 

My problem: Did anyone have some manuals about using this V42???

            In my manual there is nothing written about this.

And in the rom there are a lot of switches wich won`t be displayed in the
manual.

Please help. I`ve faxed to Datatronics but there`s no answer.

Thanks and bye

	So,

		What Pocket Modems are Recommended ???

	I am looking for a good (i.e. reliable) modem for a laptop.

	Does anyone have any comments on the best configuration for
	a "PORTABLE LAPTOP WITH A MODEM" ???

	In other words, how might I set-up a laptop that uses a 
	Cellular Phone?

	What speeds are recommended (2400, 4800, 9600,..) ?

	I seem to remember reading a posting that said that 9600 speeds
	(V32, bis, or otherwise) are not recommended ?

	Any comments...

	Thanks
