I have to roll up a small towel to muffle the speakers when I click dial!
This modems' worked for a couple of weeks, but now it's given up the goat. I noticed that it got extremely f..king hot, which I didn't like.
Main thing it's 2 pcmcia cards thick, no vent, locked in a fixed confined space, i.e. 2 slots.
I've bought a 3com Megahertz 56K Global Modem PC Card 3CCM156-B off ebay today.
It's only one slot thin, bit of air space, and newer technology.
I am inclined to think it's gonna work out of the box no sweat.

Good luck.  
My wife was close to throwing the laptop across the room because of the noise when pppdial was on then I found out from the manual that holding down the Fn 'function' key and using the down arrow key turned the sound right down / off.

Delboy,
My 3com replacement works no sweat. Although it's in the same slot, but is now com0 instead of com3.

THANKS for the sound advice!
The 3com is louder than the Xircom!

Best Regards, andyp. (A Yonner, that's somebody from Oldham.)
