NDIS is not for modems, it's for network cards.

For modems you'd probably want something similar for supporting AC'97 modems
which is what most winmodems are.

Most of the groundwork can be taken from Bill's driver, but that's about it,
i've looked into this, some drivers seem easy, some look like a PITA.
