...except the D-Link isn't a combo card. If you can find one of the TDK
"Global Freedom" cards (DFL series) they should work good, unfortunately
they are very hard to find and very expensive. If you don't use the modem
often (or if you only plan to use it for e-mail) you could get away with
getting an older 14.4 modem and pairing it with a D-Link or what have you.
It's really not *that* hard to swap cards in and out.
