For what it's worth, have the same problem with the 3Com 589D I have.  
It is *just* possible to squeeze the two in if the modem is below and 
the ether plug above.

IMHO, the stupid X-jack connector is at fault here.  The only way to 
sensibly make such a thing work would be for it to swing out away from
any likely colocated cards.

And imagine trying to use two of them at once.  Do you know if it's 
possible to obtain a cable to fit the plug on the Megahertz card?
