        Actually, as I understood it, it was that the DSP couldn't handle
doing 28.8K while it was also doing sound (anyone want to comment on its
ability to do 14.4K while doing sound?  Can it?).

        It sounded as if the reason someone was interested in a PCMCIA card
was so they *could* run the (PCMCIA) modem and still get sound at the same
time, whereas the DSP couldn't do both tasks at once.

        And I know nothing about linux!  ;-)  Seems to me though that the
linux users had more or less said that their wasn't a driver to run the DSP
modem--at least not at 28.8K or something like that.  Someone with more
knowledge care to comment?
