The multi-modem card is available for all PCI-based Power Macintosh models as well as Windows/Intel platforms that support Windows NT; it comes in 2-, 4-, 6- or 8-modem configurations at 14.4K or 28.8K data rates.

Additional cards can be plugged into other PCI slots as required to access more than eight telephone lines. Second Wave, Inc., Austin, TX, (512) 329-9283.
