I've got a full length real magic card and a full length modem (wonder how slow it is) I doubt either of which are made anymore but I expect buying an old full length real magic card is still a lot cheaper than a new pci spangly one and still does the job fine. How about all the old video capture cards, some of them were full length, at that price why buy a new one ? It'd be nice to use the real magic card (is it supported ?) -- Steve Roome Broom cupboard Stockist, Vision Interactive Ltd.
