Back when I was at IBM (the first time), modems and network adapters 
came in the form of PCMCIA cards.  Those were a tight squeeze for the 
connectors, but they managed.  My R31 ThinkPad came with built in 
Ethernet and modem, but I lost the modem when I updated the WiFi from B 
only to G.  The modem and original WiFi shared the same daughter board.
