As far as I know my combo card operates simultaneously, although I haven't
had a lot of reason to try using ethernet and modem at the same time, so I'm not
100% sure.
I'm running kernel 2.2.12 with pcmcia-cs v3.1.4-2. My card is a Xircom
RealPort Ethernet 10/100 + Modem 56 (REM56G-100). The laptop is a Toshiba
Satellite Pro 490CDT.
What's XJACK?
