Subject:  [VOICENWS] HW: Tim's Warped Bargains: Another PC Card Modem (External, Too)

From: Timothy Sipples <tsippleDESPAM at us.ibm.com> 


Dear Bargain Hunters:

I mentioned the inexpensive XJack V.90 PC Card (PCMCIA) modem in one of my
last updates.  (It's still available from Livewarehouse, as far as I
know.) Now, for those of you who don't like the XJack design (because it
might interfere with another card installed), there's an equivalent
eComStation-compatible modem with a "dongle" cable for almost exactly the
same price:

   http://www.compgeeks.com/details.asp?invtid=BFM5600-CF

The price is $18.20 plus shipping per modem, but you can do a bit better
since you read Tim's Warped Bargains.  First go to this web site:

   http://www.fatcash.com

and use their link to get to Compgeeks.  That'll get you a 1.5% rebate.
(Don't type in the web address above.  Otherwise you might destroy the
"link" from the rebate site.)  At checkout, try using the coupon code "MC
Exclusives" or "JUMPONDEALS."  That might get you another 10% off.  (Maybe
not -- that one I haven't confirmed.)  Worst case, though, the modem nets
out to $17.93 plus shipping.

Now if an external modem is more your fancy, I have just the thing:

   http://www.compgeeks.com/details.asp?invtid=V1456VQE-R1

Navigate to this product via Fatcash.com and you could end up with a V.90
external modem for a paultry $14.58 plus shipping, perhaps even lower with
the coupon code.  That's pizza money, really.  And you can still buy beer.

Some home cable/DSL routers have a serial port for a backup Internet
connection, so this inexpensive external serial modem would be just the
item to add to your kit.

As always, I have no affiliation with any of the merchants I mention.
Unless I mention I have affiliation, which I'm not mentioning this
mention.
