The Psion Gold Card Global ISDN modem is the only PCMCIA modem I have ever used, but I have never and most probably will never need to look elsewhere for a replacement. The techy bit: It has two 64Kbps data channels which can be used separately or combined for 128Kbps digital data throughput. Just plug it in and off you go. It is also GSM ready - All major mobile phones are supported including Nokia, Ericsson and Motorola, (apparently, although I haven't tried them). The accompanying software is very easy to use and I didn't have any problem installing the card ready for use. The only downside is the price (as with all Psion modems), but if you get reliability and service like this who can grumble?!
Advantages: Relatively cheap now, good speed Disadvantages: There are new technologies now on the market
I had a PsionGoldCard 56K Modem + Fax, but it was also GSM and ISDN ready. Now I upgraded to GSM, buying a cable (relatively cheap) for a Nokia mobile phone and downloading the upgrade from Psion website. And it works very well, much faster than a infrared connection from a laptop to a mobile phone. Everything was relatively easy to install and configure, so even if you are not a techy person (as me :), you're able to do it yourself.
