[Gil Young]

suprisingly enough, I was just looking for one on ebay this past weekend.

Well, i dont have one, but I have a lead for you to look for in the future:

Hope you can find one somewhere, I know how handy this can be, I wonder why 
there was never a bigger market for them.  There was also a popular 
luggable I found with built in 9600 baud modem:
