5.0 out of 5 stars Works fine with Ipaq, June 2, 2001

This review is from: Xircom CFM56G CompactCard Modem for Pocket PC (Office Product)

Just to set the record straight, this modem works just fine with the Ipaq. I'm using it to write this review. All you have to do is download the recently-posted Compaq fix if you have any problems.

1.0 out of 5 stars Too fat for HP Jornada 547, December 28, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Xircom CFM56G CompactCard Modem for Pocket PC (Office Product)

My friends all bought the P-Tech modem but I liked the Xircom. Was I ever disappointed. The Xircom modem is said to be compatible with HP Pockec PCs. I have a new Jornada 547 but in fact, it is too fat to fit the Compact slot. I inserted the card correctly but it was very tight going in and proved so tight it would not come out unless I used a pair of pliers to remove it.

This is essentially unusable for my system. I am disappointed in this product becaused I have used several Xircom products in the past.
