I'd never noticed the technical aspects of the CNR. When I saw the prices for the cards weren't any better and I'd have to go out of my way to get a motherboard that supported it, why bother?

I love that at the same time that there's this big push to move graphics processing off of the CPU, there's a big push to move the networking onto it. I suppose that the majority of people that are okay with their WinModem have never seen how much better a real modem works. (Not that I've really used a modem much in the last ten years.)
