LXCIC is a modem card enabler and thus a CIC100 alternative on the Palmtop. It can be run resident or nonresident. If resident, it occupies only 800 bytes.
If your modem card is capable, it will allow you to power up/down the modem. You can also disable the socket, reset the PC card, change the interrupt type, save the card's information to disk or get a status display.
LXCIC could be a very useful program for Software Carousel users. There are known problems when the built in CIC100 program is used in conjunction with Software Carousel. LXCIC can be run as either a resident or nonresident program. This means that it could be loaded in one SC session and not in others. The program has not been tested on all possible PC card modems. It's definitely worth a try to see if it works with your brand of modem. The price is definitely right!
