: I don't actually have a REM56, but the modem parts of my older Xircom combo
: cards do work.  You shouldn't have any problems with the modem, but note
: that you probably won't be able to get the modem and Ethernet parts of the
: card working at the same time.

These cards appear to allow only one to be activated at a time, from a
pccard point of view.  There is some code to enable the modem part
while the ethernet card is used, but I could be misunderstanding the
code (since it looks magical and stolen from equally magical linux
code).

: If you're planning on using the Ethernet function of the card as well, you

: major upgrade recently and now behaves a lot better than it did in 5.1.

The CEM33 card had the wrong id.  It looks like the 56k one might also
have the wrong id because it is the same as the 28.8 part.
