Handheld PC 2000 devices (v.3.0 for Handheld PC 2000).

http://www.socketcom.com/support/faq_56k.htm
3.2 It is not necessary to have your Windows CE device connected to
run the Setup program. If the device is not present when you run
Setup, the Socket 56K Modem software will be downloaded to
your CE device automatically the next time you connect it to
your host PC.
3.3 The CompactFlash slot in some clamshell type H/PCs, such as
the HP 620/660/680 LX, do not support I/O functions and thus do
not support the Socket 56K Modem CF card. However, the card
will work in the PC Card slot of any H/PC with a CF to PC Card
adapter.
