I think the biggest reason is to trim a bit off the "sticker" price, just
like laptops never ship with a useful amount of ram (this is an uneducated
opinion!).

Someone else mentioned pcmcia as a way to avoid proprietary builtin modems,
but for a "normal" modem, i.e. not a dsp modem, I'd think that would be less
of an issue.

Anyway, I fear the loss of builtin modems is something we'll have to live
with for some time now.
