No, my laptop (COMPAQ Presario 1200 XL103) is a little too old !! it's no
longer commercialized.
So I think it's a "real" modem, because I'm so curious and I've taken
apart my laptop, and the Lucent modem look like present, with the Lucent
chip 1646T00  REA 12V  0001S 4185474.
By the way, it's not a PC Card modem, my modem is connected to my mother
card. And under FreeBSD 5.0, my modem is NOT detected, but under "windows
98se", it's detected. I've not tested under Linux.
