The simple fact is yes there are a lot of cheap PCI modems out there. But
here is the problem. I have not successfully found a driver that will work
on any two PCI modems. It seems that every manufacturer make them slightly
incompatible from the next. I still use my old ISA modem for its
reliability. The PCI modems just don't have the same eligibility or quality
as the ISA (I could be wrong).

I would not waste as much time working with PCI modems as I would trying to
get USB to work. The way that I see it is the PCI modems is just the step
between ISA and USB.

If you can get a universal PCI modem driver working under any OS then you
will undoubtedly make some serious cash.

This is my opinion, there are many others like it but this one is mine.
