Cool!

Yeah, that's why I was thinking I wanted to get the pcmcia card.  Actually,
the serial version would be much slower than that, because the top speed of
sun4m serial ports is 38400 kbps.

Of course, the big question is whether I'd need any pcmcia drivers for
Solaris 2.6, or whether it would show up identically to any other pcmcia
"modem".
