Yes, at least with MouseTalk (as I wrote the drivers for it).  The same is
true for printing under MouseTalk.  It writes directly to the 8530 when
printing, so you can opt to switch slot 1 to "Your Card", too.  In essence, if
you use MouseTalk for your communications work, you can free up slots 1 and 2
for your own cards rather than rendering them "empty" and useless so that you
can use the built-in ports.

It is neat, but it certainly isn't condoned by Apple.
