<blockquote>Dave Fleishman — “I have had some success with a Motorola DPC650, a MOT-1 cable from Megahertz and a Megahertz XJ4288 modem. Dials great, connects great, but the cellular connection is slow, and unless I’m near a cell tower, it can drop in the middle of the transfer. I used both the 14.4 and higher setting, and the CruiseCard 28.8 setting with success. I have also had success with a Motorola ‘black box’ with just about all PC card modems I have used. Let me know if you need the part number for it, because I keep it in my car.”</blockquote>

Also the Option 33.6K PC Card modem with ‘GSM ready’ logo onto them, with GSM cable for Siemens S4, works with <ahref="https://web.archive.org/web/19980611185027/http://www.novamedia.de/001at01d.htm">Nova Media’s Option driver</a>. Both as a standard 33.6K modem and as a cellular modem. Haven’t tried anything else than an S4, but presume that, as you just change cable, it would work with any mobile phone that the Option has an cable for. Both data and fax, in both cases, I might add.”</blockquote>

<blockquote>Harri Hohteri — “The Nokia 880, 2110(i), 3110, 3810, 5000, 8110(i), 8146, and 8148i models work with DTP-2 ver.II Nokia Cellular Data Card and Nokia GSM ISDN driver. The Nokia 880, 2110(i), 5000 (this might be Mobira Cityman not Nokia), 2110 clones like Technophone, and some Philips models work with DTP-2 Nokia Cellular Data Card and Nokia GSM Auto driver. These might work with each others’ drivers. The Nokia 6150 can be connected with TDK, option and some other third-party PC Card. These cards support several other brands and models. All Motorola phones which support Cellect PC Card (such as the Motorola 8700) are supported by GSM-Motorola driver. Other phones with a built-in modem, such as the Nokia 7110, Siemens S25, and Bosch 909, should also be compatible. None of the phones listed can use IrDA to communicate because of the incomplete IrDA support on Newton devices. Some Ericsson models are supported because there’s a GSM-Ericsson driver available, but I have no idea which phones.”</blockquote>
