Does anyone know why PCI bus modems are still so rare?
I don't think 3com/USRobotics make one, do they? Why
don't they?

An ISA bus modem slows down a fast system, the same way an
ISA sound card is said to, doesn't it? So why aren't Motorola, 3com,
etc.  making them?
Are they difficult to configue, expensive to make?fido7.modem

Of the brands that are out there, can anyone recommend a PCI modem with
voice/fax?
