I have one of the GV 56k, modem/ethernet combo cards ( What used to be called PCMCIA) that I use in my 1400s. I'd love to find another as they are fantastic. (2-1400s, 1- card!) Not only does it have the standard modem/ethernet port, but the dongle can be swapped into another port labeled Cellular. (I haven't tried that feature, yet!!) Talk about all in one.
The software is standard GV and works equally well on OS 7.x through OS 9.1. The 1400 only allows 64 Meg of RAM, so I can't try OS X, even with a G3 upgrade's extra speed. It will work through a phone line and network without unplugging the lines, but because of the TCP/IP and AppleTalk setting requirements, both can't be used at the same time. (or at least I haven't figured out how to do it) I'd be interested in a schematic of the card. I'm curious as to how they do so much in such a tiny package.
