I use the Ricochet modem script. This way logging on is just like any other modem. Actually I use the control strip, remote access, to log on and off. I did spend some time looking at the specs of the new modem. If it cannot run Mac ADB with OS 8.6 then I am not interested. My 2400 has 80MB RAM, Newer G3/240MHz/1MB, IBM 6.4GB HD and with the L2 cache turned off, the screen set to one click above dark, I get an 1.25 hours of battery with the Ricochet on. I bet that using a USB PC-card will doc your battery life. I use the Ricochet everyday and have to say that the claimed 28.8kbps is low. It "feels" more like 45kbps. At my work I see downloads above 5kps according to Netscape. My house is a different story. I usually see one to two kps. I have found that the Cramers bagel shop next to Santa Clara University, in the bay area, has good reception. When traffic is bad, I slip into Cramers, log into my company and work until the battery dies. I do this at least twice a week.
