Sounds exactly like the DSVD PCI modem inside the Fujitsu Lifebook --
sadly Fujitsu have not exactly been forthcoming on information about
how their Windows drivers work (though in this case there's support
for both Win95/98 and NT).

Under Windows, it appears as a pseudo-com port (it identifies itself
as being on COM3, but probing around in the equivalent IO address
reveals nothing obvious)
