- Hi Netters !
- I just received my PB 180 4/120 last week, before Christmas. This is
- a wonderful machine !
-
- I plan to order a Global Village PowerPort Gold for my PowerBook, but
- I'd like to hear comments concerning compatibility. What worries me is not
- the old question of Bell / CCITT standards, but such things as tax
- pulses filtering (the pulses here in Switzerland are sent at a lower fre-
- quency than in the States, about 12KHz I think ). I heard some V42bis modems
- were disturbed by those bursts. Is there anyone out there that has tried
- this (specifically the PowerPort Gold or Silver) and can report ?
-
- Please reply by e-mail, I'll summarize.
-
- Thanks in advance,
- Good luck to those who are
- still waiting for their 180,
- Happy New Year,
-
- Jean-Michel
