Hello Everyone,

After reading the thread about using a 16c64 to dial a modem and link to a
PC, I've thought of a variation to this question:

Since PC-based modems are relatively cheap and plentiful these days, has
anyone tried to take an off-the-shelf PC-based modem card (e.g. ISA based)
and interface it directly to any PIC processor?  This might be an easy (and
cheap) method of getting PIC-based modem communications going.  Of course,
one could also use an external modem that communicates via an RS232 link,
however, an ISA-based modem card soution is likely cheaper.  Any comments?
