What is the best CF modem card?

DELL offers 56K Modem CompactFlash Card (56KMOD-[ A0072567 ] for $104.95.

Is this a reasonable price and how does this card compare to other available modem cards?

Thanks for any advice.

I have the ambicom - no problems whatsoever. I paid about $70 for mine two months ago. Oh, also no drivers necessary as it was recognized immediately.

I believe there's one a lot cheaper for sale in the Classifieds section if it's still available.

HTH,

I would definitely NOT pay $100+ from Dell. I have seen both the Ambicom and the Targus for ~$70. I actually paid $30 (after rebate) for my Ambicom.

It is pretty nice. Setup was an absolute no brainer. If I hadn't been trying to connect to RoadRunner dial-up service (what a pain in the a** TimeWarner has made their service) then it would have been painless.

I'm using the Negear MA701 and it works great. Setup was brain-dead simple - completely set up and running in less than 5 minutes. Battery drain is moderate to light.
