Re: pcmcia modem models: XJack

["Marshall Lai" <marshall@netvigator.com>]

Don't know about ATT 28.8 but tried out Magahertz XJ2288 and returned it. 
The card is excellent in terms of ease of installation and throughput.  My
problem lies with the XJack: The phone cable connector protrudes a little
too much to bend my SCSI cable connector.........
