More Geekery

So, I'm tinkering around a bit with the spare computers in the basement, checking to see if any of them have halfway decent NIC cards (other than Shub-Niggurath). They do not, however one does catch my eye. At first glance, it appears to have two modems. I check it further and note that is not the case. It has one modem, and one Dialogic D/42D-SX "Switch Integration Card". Still working on figuring out what exactly that is; I'd think it had something to do with network switches if the ports weren't RJ11, but that could still be the explanation if we're simply dealing with older technology. The modem itself appears to be a US-Robotics Sportster 0461 internal modem, with a line in for a microphone and a line out for a speaker.
