It depends on the card.  As someone already pointed out, this particular
card has the modem as the first entry in the combo-card, but with other
combo cards you might have the reverse experience.  Spending a bunch of
money for a dual-purpose card when you can only use one function (at
this time) seems a bit silly, unless you are willing to write the code
to do the multi-function thing.
