Greetings all,

I am curious as to the status of the integrated modem on the dell inspiron 
8500.  I'm sure someone will say no one cares about a dial up modem 
anymore but it always happens that one is on the road and dial up is the 
only access one can get.  Any information on progress on this drive would 
be useful.  I believe this is the dmesg entry for it:
pci0: <simple comms> at device 31.6 (no driver attached)
