I bought three of the SRAM cards from Surplus Technology and they worked
just great. They did not come with any paperwork about them at all
though. I also bought the Zoom modem for 50 bucks which I like alot. I
personally think it may be a mistake to get the Star modem because you
would have to remove your SRAM card in order to use it. The Zoom pocket
moded uses the RS232 port and can run on batteries if you choose to use
it that way making it very portable.
