I have been using a MegaHertz PCcard MoDem before I even knew there was
storage cards around (I still haven't actually come close enough to find out
how to *get* any!) but the power drain was nothing to worry about even with
a fairly heavyish use I have needed not more than one mains recharge a night
and this is usually no more than a few minutes with the exact time depending
on how long I was using it that day and the time spent actually *sending*
documents doesn't add enough drain to lose any sleep over (I've been using
the beast as an alarm-clock, too, but that's beside the point!) <|;+D John
