AFAIK there were only two cell cables made for this modem _ to connect
to the MicroTAC and Elite phones. I've only used it with the MicroTAC since
it gives a good solid connection just about anywhere. People I know who've
been using modems with StarTACs always appeared to have problems getting a
solid connections (but then I haven't had much luck with 3Com modems and
cell phones either). Resetting the station class mark of the MicroTAC phone
to 10 from the default 14 made it even more stable. I use the same
modem/cell combination with my PowerBook. I like the Power/MicroTAC
combination since they were made to go together.
Some of the later Motorola Cellect series modems might have StarTAC
cables, but I haven't seen any of the Cellect modems around for years.
