Nice Accessory For Thinmodem

I use this adapter more than the cable that came with the Thinmodem. When traveling, I don't always have a jack to plug into. It's much easier to find a phone that I can unplug the wire from the phone and connect to this adapter. Also, most telephone jacks are usually mounted near the floor and are usually difficult to get to. Again, it's usually easier unplugging the telephone wire from the phone and plugging into this accessory. Plus, when I don't have a phone line to plug into, I can use my Konexx Koupler and attach to a payphone. It's more convenient using this accessory then using the cable that comes with the Thinmodem and an inline phone extension adapter to allow me to plug in the accoustic adapter.

One problem is don't carry it in your pants pocket. It was convenient to carry it with me in my front pants pocket. I guess the constant bending and moving has stressed the wire going into the connector and mine has developed a short after only a couple of months of usage. It still works, but it's becoming very difficult to position the wire to make it work so I'm having to buy another one.

Not sure when I will use this but might be nice to have.

I bought this with my thinmodem. I haven't used it yet since the thinmodem comes with a connection cable. I guess it would come in handy if you keep it in your brief case for away trips...or those times when you forget your connection cable. This is a "nice to have"..not a "need to have".
