it will take some time until you have conquered the device.

I've been learning that, but each time it does something I don't want it to, (I learn) and am amazed at what it can do. The phone dialer for example worked and wowed me. Is it more extensive than just emitting DTMF tones? The handwriting recognition seems to be learning to read my horrible handwriting very well.

I have come up with a few more questions. Can I use a CF card with a PCMCIA adapter in the Newton, or does it require a Newton-branded card? And as far as faxes go, does it only work with a card modem? I've noticed under the top lid next to the connector port, there is a small black square- about the size of a phone jack. Is there an internal modem upgrade? Thank you!

I believe there was an internal modem available for the 2x00 MP. There's even some space inside where one could possibly have fit. So far I've had zero luck faxing with an internal card. I'm not sure if the external Apple Fax Modems are any better. The card I bought is a 14.4MHz Megahertz Fax Modem Xjack model XJ1144. Each time I try to send I just get an error. I have been able to call phones with it though.
