unclewest, The neopoint 1000 sounds good. I use four mobile phones including a Nokia smart phone: an Omnipoint workhorse for global roaming, a Q Thin Phone for laptop wireless, a Sprint Touchpoint for back-up voice needs and the Nokia 9110 for GSM wireless data. I also have five computers, but that's another matter. (The real purpose of all this hardware is to have access to you guys anywhere, anytime!) I literally travel with one Haliburton suitcase specially fitted for all this gear, including power and phone adaptor plugs for every country, extension cords, etc. The sad part is I fully expect to chuck it all within two years and start all over again as wireless technology improves. The Qualcomm Data Fax Modem card (V.34) does not use an x jack. It simply slides into your PC card slot. You may then plug the mobile phone into it or plug in a land line for old fashioned internet access. It was easy to set-up. It comes with installation software, but nothing else is needed. Once it's set-up you just use your regular browser software as if you were on a desk-top at home. Don't know anything about Dacom's modem cards. But it should work with your Neopoint if you use a GSM network, such as Omnipoint.
