^^ ditto that or pci-e serial ports [not usb.. rs-232]


2) No, there aren't any yet, and hopefully, there never will be.

3) If you need a 56k modem, and your motherboard doesn't have PCI slots -- Get a USB one.

Why?

If there is one they would make it for the PCI Express X1 not the X16 (Video Card Slot) like I'm sure you're thinking of.

Because the pci-e x1 slots are usually not in abundance, and because they put out 250 MB a second. taking this slot up for at best, 5 Kilobytes per second is even worse than using a pci for it.
Stick it on a usb 1.1 port.
or put it on a pci as that is the new ISA
 
or you can be l337 like me and get an external USR 56k serial modem, a webramp m3... hook em' up... and run it to your computer via ethernet. At that point all you need to do is click on your browser to send a request to the M3 which will automatically dial up for you when you try to access the web.

Kind of an expensive option... but its the neatest way to integrate dialup to your network.
