I'm afraid it won't be long before these are the only modems available
for laptops.  I even accidentally bought on in PCMCIA format a couple
of weeks ago; nothing in the documentation indicated that it was a
"winmodem".  While I disagree with the idea of "winmodems", I think
we're going to have to support them sooner or later.  I do agree that
"someone else" can do it, though :-)
