    I posted a similar question on the acessorires section but it seems no one actully attends to that so I thought I d put it up here since it concerns an acer. Im in need of a port replicator for my acer aspire notebook, and am looking for a USB one so that it can be used with any of my mnachines. But speically I want one for my Acer. Can someone recommend one please. The basic ports i need are:

    RJ45 (LAN)
    RJ11 (Moodem)
    Parellel
    Serial
    Audio Out
    Mic In
    And a few USB 2.0 ports

    Anyone who knows or has tried one out can guide me throuugh would be apprecciated. I really need one, coz all the wires and stuff is pretting dangling around my desk and i need to get it organized since i mmove this thing a lot.

    Targus used to have a Mobile Port Rep, but it's not listed on their US site anymore (has it on Canadian site). Don't think it has a port for the modem or audio. You may have to get it directly from Acer if they have anything like this for your unit (available on the TM3200 & TM4500 series, but special connector needed).
