	The Mac Portable DOES NOT deal with the issues, per se, it simply does
what the other internals do and that is to replace the modem port with the
internal modem (this is done via the Portable cdev).  There is special code in
place here to do this (just like other internal cards for other Macs) but I
wonder what will happen with the CTB...Will the Portable now be limited in the
future for lack of ports, or......??  (comments Apple?!?!)
