One other possibility is that the modem may offload the processing
to the host.  ie: a driver was loaded and your win95 system does 
the work.  I haven't seen one of these, but I have heard of them.

Similar in concept to GDI printers.  You buy a cheap shell for you
printer/modem and let you PC running windows do the work.  Very Ugly,
very incompatible, very cheap!!.
