The one I had was a WorldPort also, but I think it may have been a
9600 baud.
I know they put out models until at least 14.4. Eventually they were
bought
out by USR, which I believe retired the line. These were exceptional
little
gizmos.

I have an Aceex K56flex. V.92, voice .....
6x5x1 inch. Don't remember how much, but reasonable.
Works fine.

Probably not as compact as the old WorldPorts, or the more recent
Dynalink
USB ones, but I'll check this out. Thanx. K56flex was one of the
competing
56K standards -- what about the other one ? (The Dynalink claimed
auto-
sensing selection of either.)
