No, you're quite right. The basic reason is that WinModems need a good
fast connection between processor and modem because the processor is
taking care of the processing-intensive part of the modem's work. PCI
works great for this, and that's a good reason why using the serial port
through which externals connect would be a daft idea for cpu-bound junk.
Serial is lean and mean.
Externals rule. People that buy internals should be shot on spot.
