    I would like to buy a backlit rubber keyboard for a CF-28. I also would like to buy the VIP sidekick module for the CF-28 as well as the ADSL module for the same toughbook.

    I think the ASDL module does everything the sidekick module does plus more. Having them both may be redundant.


    This statement is incorrect!

    I thought the Sidekick module was based on telicom uses and would read voltages as well as kick and analyze a phone system for shorts and other issues in twisted pair. The ADSL is a DSL computer system tool. the ASDL I thought only had a port for cat 5. no test leads. i might be wrong though.

    You are correct in the functions of the 2 units.

    Here is an ebay link to a whole unit.

    Here is an ebay ad for the vip module minus the leads.
