You get 33.6 KB speed and it runs off 2 AAA batteries (or optional adapter if you can find one). Do yourself a favor, download the free Eudora Palm Internet Suite for the top-notch email client. The Eudora email client is better than the Palm Mail app and you can upload messages to your Eudora desktop version.

The whole dial-up and logon procedure takes less than a minute. I use Earthlink and found the setup to be quick and painless. However, browsing the web with my Palm Vx and this modem leaves alot to be desired...some sites aren't accessible, the aspect ratio is all off, some images won't load, and it's just plain slow. Certain sites are inaccessible such as banking and stock sites particularly if they are encrypted. You can also use the modem to HotSync remotely but this is not something I need to do on a regular basis, but those who are usually away from their company or desktop PC will appreciate this feature.

If you own a Palm V series PDA, you would be served well to buy a modem. You may not need it or use it all the time, but eventually you'll find yourself without your laptop or any way to access your email quickly and you'll come to appreciate the Palm V Modem!
