That depends on the PCMCIA modem.  All the bigger names that are
relatively new seem to have them.  I would particularly point to
the MegaHertz XJ2114.  Many of us got the AT&T Keep-In-Touch
modem since, at the time, it was one of the few that had a 16550
UART.  I've heard from MHz XJ114 users though that performance
wasn't bad despite the lack of a 16550 UART.

Sure.  They better...

May as well try Turbocomm and that one other package (I forget the
name).  And let us know how it works!

Oh yeah, about OS/2...yup!
