Where can I get a PC card modem for this old laptop

I have a Windows 95 based laptop that I need to get a modem for so I
can give it to a school.

It is a Hitachi M-1200 laptop.  It has 2 PC card slots (or something
that looks like them).

thanx in advnce

Hi Sherpaj-ga, 

What a nice gesture to turn over a nice laptop to a school. The slots
you refer to are PCMCIA slots, and from what I read any type II PCMCIA
type II modem should do just fine. I shopped online a little bit and
located a bunch of $50 units, which is about 1/4 the price of your
laptop. I jumped over to ebay.com and found a bunch of them with But
It Now prices under $10.

I've actually found your specific laptop for sale with this specific modem in it.

It is $4.25 and offers free shipping. There are 3 days left on this auction.

Please feel free to request a clarification before rating this question.

I'd like to repeat what a truly warm gesture it is to share you extra
technology with a local school.

Best of luck,

Is a little more expensive, but comes with two different cable
connects, one for phone cord connection and one to plug into a phone
box directly.

Needs no cable, rj-11 is integral part of card.
reasonable price $12.99 + $8.00

I didn't include any online stores because the prices all started over
$40 for the same modems.
