Well, there is a site at 
http://www.olagrande.net/~webguy/service/poqet.html#Useful
which says: 

      I have discovered only a few variations of the Megahertz XJ1144
      modem and the AT&T Paradyne "KeepInTouch" modem will work on the
      PC Plus.

so this looks reasonable (although I have no clue how an xjack could
even only fit into the poqet plus...).

Ok, here ist is:

But, alas, Whether this will work or not can only be determined from
the backside (which apparently is not visible on ebay).  Sigh!  Maybe
someone should mail this guy and try to find out...
