Ejecting the card, or you had a lockup of the system?

The modem won't work at all reliably in PIO mode. The interrupt load is difficult enough to keep up with in non-polled mode. If you polled the modem, you'd have so many overflows as to be useless. Or, are you talking about the PCIC controller (which generates insertion/removal event)?
