- Yes, Motorola has a couple:
-
- BitSURFR ISDN External Adapter (a PC card version available also)
- BitSURFR Pro ISDN External Adapter (NO PC card version available)
-
- The non-Pro version has an RS232 port for one channel and an RJ-11
- jack to allow standard analog equipment to be connected to the other
- channel. The Pro version has both RS232 and RJ-11 ports for both
- channels. They are priced at $299.99 and $389.99 in a Tiger Software
- catalog I received a couple of weeks ago.

- The half page add in the Tiger Software catalog doesn't indicate

- the internal and external version. When you say "loose a lot of the
- benefits" what are you refering to?
