Just to be clear: in my case I have a startac 7868 dual-mode phone from Verizon. If i go for the Xircom Springboard, I can get the cable I need from Motorola? I could not find any kind of technical spec for the xircom celphone port, so i don't know what to ask for. i'm going to submit requests for this info from Motorola & Xircom; I'll post the answers as I get them.

Interesting. I have a 3COM 3C756 and the cable for a Nokia 6160 phone. I had no difficulty getting that. When I asked Xircom about it they stated, flat out, that the Xircom Springport was *digital only* and would only work with digital phones that had built-in modems. I spoke to several people at Xircom at different times, and they all told the same story.

Now you're saying that they're not just discouraging me, they flat out lied.

I ordered the cables some time between last June and now. I don't recall the date, or where I got them from... it might have been Hello Direct.
