	It had better work, since it's working in mine.  The only
disadvantages are the extra heat in the case (System Saver takes care of
that problem) and the 19.2Kbaud maximum rate.  The serial port should
keep up with a 38Kbaud transfer rate, but don't bank on it, and
furthermore requires a special cable to work with some software.  The
SSC is plug-and-go for all software that supports it, while the GS
modem port is not supported in some older software.
