gear: connectivity

TeleAdapt and Roadpost are two companies I trust to keep me up-to-date on all the possibilities. Not only do they sell great products, but their knowledge and service is exceptional.

TELEADAPT: I've used TeleAdapt products ever since I started traveling with my laptop in 1995. From country kits to transformers to tech support troubleshooting services, telephone and power adapters, laptop accessories, prepaid access cards...this company specializes in giving you everything — I mean everything you need to stay connected while traveling.

Standard Connection Kits: Check out the Standard Connection kits designed for the traveling notebook user visiting a specific country. Each Pak contains the appropriate modem and power plug adapters to ensure a successful analog landline modem connection from the country of your choice.
USB Mini Mouse: Ideal for travelers who wish to use a mouse with their laptop without the limitations of a roller-ball style mouse, can be used on a laptop wrist rest. The USB MiniMouse is connected to the USB port of a computer or USB SlimHub and works automatically.
USB Mini Hub: Credit card size four port USB hub, ideal for travelers who use their laptops with USB peripherals such as a mini optical mouse, keyboard, mobile phone charging cable or PDA sync/chargers. It enables up to 4 devices to be connected through one USB port.
