A PCMCIA Type II card, the NovaPak 144 ($449) combines a wireless alphanumeric receiver with a high-speed data/fax/voice modem. From NovaLink Technologies (Fremont, CA), the NovaPak can be used as a stand-alone pager or as a full-featured 14.4-Kbps modem with voice-messaging capabilities. The less-than-4-ounce device automatically identifies incoming calls as data, fax, or voice and handles them appropriately.
