Understandable.  (Minus the people complaining on Usenet about poor
connect speeds with the winmodem.)

With the mini-PCI slots in the newer machines, would it be possible to
market a hardware modem/ethernet combo card?  I haven't found one in
my searches, but I'd be willing to buy that separately, and pay a
premium.  As it is, I have these nice ports on my A20p which aren't
being used.
