[origin: WO9504318A1] An interface device (20) for a computer (22) to an external device includes two separate but interconnecting parts. A card (26) includes a connector to the computer (22), an information storage device memory (38), a peripheral interface circuit (36), and a connector (40) to a cable (28). The cable (28) includes a connector to the card (26) in a first housing (42) at one end of the cable (28). A second housing (44) at the other end of the cable (28) includes a connector (50) to the external device, and interfacing circuitry to the external device. In one application, the connector in the second housing (44) of the cable (28) connects to a telephone jack, and the second housing (44) also contains a modem (52) and telephone isolation circuitry (54). Information transmitted across the telephone lines is stored in the memory (38) of the card (26).
