Interestingly, almost all internal modems in WinTel/Mac/Linux machines today 
are this way.  Of course, as you noted, there's a lot more horsepower under 
the hood today compared to then!  Most internal modems are "software 
implemented" today.  

I should have a GV 19K modem for a Duo kicking around here somewhere...if I 
can find it, I'll post it to the list.  Not sure if it is still supported, 
tho....19.2K was an interim step in the datacomm field, if I remember correctly.

Cheers!
