>Well if I recall correctly... David mentioned that the modem might need to be bidirectional as well as dual purpose in that it must be able to support networking in both directions as well as supporting a dialup connection for each system connected. I don't know what the specifics are though.
The modem is just a modem. It dosen't know or care about the data it passes. The OS moves the data around.
I'm guessing the concern there would be that the combo card only allows either the modem OR the network card to operate but not both at the same time, possibly because they might share components inside the card or perhaps because the card can't power both at the same time, they share hardware (eg. they both use the same physical socket on the outside of the card) or whatever ... I had a collegue who had that problem (or at least that was his explanation when I asked him why he had both a dual port PCMCIA combo card and a normal PCMCIA NIC in his laptop) ... I never got the model number of that one though.
I imagine the modem manual (which you might be able to grab from somewhere on the net perhaps?) would have it? Or have you exhausted that option already?
