Yes, this is true, unlesss you want to go 2400 on the modem.  Any faster
and there's not enough of the Mwave DSP capacity left for both.  On the
other hand, the Mwave modem has an unusally large latency (650ms with the
shipped software, drops to 600ms with the newest from ftp.pcco.ibm.com)
so probably you'll be happier with a PCMCIA modem anyway.
