- The Analogmodems are using the NIC (network interface card) as interface to
- telephonelines and serialports. The Digitalmodems are getting the phoneline
- from the PRI-card and are talking over the internal bus to the
- netserver-card without any NIC.
-
- And the third product are the Analog/Digital modems, which are able to do
- both....

- Hope that helps,
