  You have it backwards. Mr Kmiecik wants to turn a PLUS into a PC slot,
which doesn't exist. You are talking about the opposite, using a PLUS card
in a PC slot.
  I have a serial port in my SX mounted on an adapter card ($15). It only
uses up one slot. Maybe your modem has alot of tall components on it?
