I use a Global Village TelePort Platinum, with the MP2100 running the GV
driver that I probably got the the DNUG site (www.dnug.de). It's 28.8,
and if I weren't so lazy I'd hook it up to my Mac and upgrade the ROM,
using the software I downloaded from GV, and it would be 33.6. Model #
A812. You have to have the Newton plugged in, though, cause it sucks its
power from the serial port. It works well for me!
