*choke*

By the time you buy modems + the cable for this 2511 (the auction 
doesn't list it therefore you shouldn't assume it's there - those cables 
can get EXPENSIVE) your cost is already higher than a spare Pentium PC + 
a $150 - $200 RocketModem card.

And at the same time you get the possibility for any damn service a 
linux/bsd box can provide
