I also got the PCMCIA version, but it will only fit in old computers, since the new pc-card standard is ExpressCard! So now it is collecting dust on my book-rack! (want to get rid of it to sby.) Mine does not stick out very much, ca. ½ inch, and when in use you pop the antenna out!

The usb fits into all computers less than 5 years old, incl Mac's

I have had several bad experiences with the PCMCIA card, when I was using it, but it was easier to adapt than the usb version! I even got it to work in Ubuntu...

Now my modem looks like this
