Noah had all the ISA modems on the Ark. I haven't seen anything ISA
for years, except a few cards I had trouble throwing out.
I had a box full of PCI Fax-Modems until recently, and I think I'm
down to one for a spare for Judge Crater's machine. (Let me know when
I've worn this out).
I've always thought USB was a blessing after fooling with dip switches
and parallel ports.
