I have a Megahertz XJA 3288 modem. Went to US Robotics web page for parts.
Ordered Cell cable for that modem and StarTac Phone ($69.99+Tax, Shipping,
etc.). Insert modem in Right(Lower) Bay, put Newt to sleep, plug cable into
modem and phone(phone can be on), wake Newt. Connect. works great for email
and faxes. Surfing is verrrrry slowwwwww, and runs down both phone and Newt
batteries fast. Before I got a phone in my classroom, I used the setup to
fax the office just to keep them awake, request assistance, jerk my boss'
chain, etc. Loved it.
