Would it work to plug a modem from my PC-compatible into my Amiga?
The modem's specs have special instructions for connection to a Mac
(different serial port pin assignments, I think). I'm also wondering
about PCMCIA cards — the vast majority of product is billed as PC
compatible.
Adam,
so long as your modem uses the standard RS-232C standard serial
connector, it should work. One issue within this though is whether the
modem is a Hayes compatible. If it is, you are in luck and can just use
the Hayes settings in your terminal program. If not, you'll need to check
your terminal software to see if your modem is in its list of available
settings.
As to PCMCIA, I don't have a clue.
