I have the 3CXEM556 card as well, and although I haven't (yet) gotten it set 
up to run under Linux, I do have it working under Win95, and have used both 
the network and modem jacks simultaneously - and I haven't had to disable the 
onboard ports to get it to work.  

So - it must be a kernel/pcmcia configuration issue.
