I have heard great things about Global Village's TelePort modem that plugs into the ADB port. My only concern before buying one is power consumption. The mac reference manual bundled with all macs says the ADB can supply 500 milliamps but the manual specific to my new LC says the total ADB current draw must not exceed 200 mA. The manual says the keyboard consumes 25 mA and the mouse 80 mA so I'm hoping the modem doesn't use more than about 80 mA. Does anyone know how much the TelePort actually consumes? Does anyone know which of my manuals is in error? Does the new (cheap) Taiwanese mouse really draw 80 mA? Does the standard keyboard bundled with the LC draw 25 mA (even without LEDs)? Does this mean I won't be able to upgrade to an extended keyboard due to power limitations? Thanks in advance, Larry Smith bitnet: LARRY@UTAPHY internet: sead142@emx.utexas.edu

According to the Teleport modem manual it draws 135mAmp. -- michael -- Michael Peirce -- outpost!peirce@claris.com -- Peirce Software -- Suite 301, 719 Hibiscus Place -- Macintosh Programming -- San Jose, California 95117 -- & Consulting -- (408) 244-6554, AppleLink: PEIRCE
