Xircom CreditCard Modem56 GlobalACCESS

Advantages: Reliable, lot of features
Disadvantages: Problems when installing on Win98 and WinMe

...Hello all, This is an opinion about the Xircom Ethernet + 56K Modem Adapters. Why “Adapters” and not “Adapter”? Well, because there are in fact two of the same, even with the same specifications. And I’ll start with presenting you these specs: 1. Xircom® RealPort Ethernet 10+Modem 56 GlobalACCESS (REM56G-10) - Integrated Type III PC Card connectors mean there's nothing to break, nothing to lose. But, in the same time, it will take the both slots in your laptop. Yes, you have everything on the card – as network connection, modem connection and mobile connection (if you have the specific cables, of course), but keep in mind that a Type III Card take the both slots. - Connect using a standard RJ-45 Ethernet cable in the office (this for Local Area Networks), you don’t need any additional dongle, just plug the network...
