One reason I've heard is that a modem doesn't need the strength of a PCI bus. When something has to be developed for a new bus, it costs money. It took a couple of years to work out how to make a PCI sound card. But with surround sound and the like, these are said to be worth it. Intel is making a move to get rid of the ISA bus by 1999 (ha) soI imagine we'll see some PCI modems in about 12 months... Graham Cooper wrote in message ... > >>ISA.
