I called an old number I had for Migent [ (702) 832-3700 ], and was told that that number was no longer in service. Is Migent or any other maker of line-powered modems still around? -- -- beak is beak is not

Is Migent or any other maker of >line-powered modems still around? Migent sold off the Pocket Modem to a spinoff of their own engineering group, now called Sierra MicroSystems. As a P.M. owner, I received a flyer from them offering a trade-in on the 1200 against a 2400 baud version. Their address is: 865 Tahoe Blvd, Suite 211 Call Box 14-224 Incline Village NV 89450 702-831-4600 This information is from my flyer file and is about 15 months old. For all I know, these folks are gone as well. They were selling the old 1200 baud versions for $85 in the information I received.

Another company that makes pocket-sized modems is Touchbase Systems (WorldPort modems) in Northport, NY; 516-754-3491. Practical Peripherals recently announced (see last week's PC Week) a credit-card-sized line-powered pocket modem. This one really doesn't have a battery, but draws its juice from the RS-232 connector when on-hook and the phone line when off-hook. They're located in Westlake Village, CA. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Toby Nixon, Principal Engineer Fax: +1-404-441-1213 Telex: 6502670805 Hayes Microcomputer Products Inc.
