- The modem and fax portions of the card are served by different
- circuitry. They may both be on one chip even, but the functions
- are separately defined.
- To make a card with 2400 modem and 9600 fax uses one particular
- chip solution, with a given cost. To have 9600 modem and 9600
- fax uses a different chip solution with a different cost.
- So, you have a choice - 2400/9600 at one cost, or 9600/9600
- at a different <*higher*> cost.
- You *can* have 9600/9600 (or 14400) on the one card, but it
- will cost more.
