Remember that PCMCIA has some special things in it for handling a modem,
they kind of act differently than other cards, and look like a regular
serial port.  A combo card is probably going to be entirely different.

In fact, I'd guess it's more like the 3com combo ethernet/modem mini-PCI
card that came in my laptop.  This was a win-modem and doesn't seem to be
supported under Linux.  My solution to that was to replace it with the
Xircom mini-PCI card (which I got for like $35 on ebay from a guy in
Singapore), which has an LT winmodem and eepro net.  They both work just
fine.
